There’s a saying about taking one step forward, two steps back.
Well, in regards to the Big 12 title aspirations for the Texas Longhorns, the expression certainly seemed to prove true on Saturday evening, as Texas needed a last-second field goal from Cameron Dicker to simply survive and avoid a disastrous home defeat at the hands of the Kansas Jayhawks.
While a win is a win and Texas did improve to 3-1 in conference action, the Longhorns didn’t exactly look the part of a legitimate conference title contender. That humbling reality isn’t lost on Tom Herman, who on Monday said his team didn’t play up to their standards and that Texas fans are right to be upset by the effort.
