There isn’t much collective memory left in the Texas Longhorns program of that dark day in 2016 against the Kansas Jayhawks, a 24-21 loss on Nov. 19, 2016, the first defeat suffered by the Longhorns against the Jayhawks since 1938 and the unofficial end of the Charlie Strong era.
In fact, there are just three fifth-year seniors on the roster who played under Strong that season — safety Chris Brown and offensive linemen Denzel Okafor and Tope Imade. Okafor was the only one who made the travel roster in 2016, playing on special teams and in the 18-Wheeler package.
