Tom Herman once said, “the essence of this game is to move another human against his will where he doesn’t want to go.”
On Saturday, for the first time since the Sugar Bowl, Herman’s Texas Longhorns will enjoy an opportunity to do exactly that against humans who aren’t donning burnt orange and white with their season set to get underway against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. In particular, it’s Texas’ big bodies up front that are likely chomping at the bit to push other bodies around, which, in turn, should allow the Longhorns’ ground game to find its footing against a Bulldogs’ rush defense that isn’t expected to be much to write home about.
