Victory is sweet... sweet like sugar.
The Texas Longhorns latest victory, a 28-21 Sugar Bowl win over the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs, is as sweet as any that folks around the Forty Acres have savored in recent memory. For a once-prominent program that’s long been starved of the substantial success second-year head coach Tom Herman and his Longhorns are currently celebrating, such a sentiment is especially true.
This is a program that in the not too distant past — though it appears increasingly distant at this present moment — seemingly fell to the Big 12 cellar as a 24-21 loss to Kansas not only effectively ended the Charlie Strong, but capped a three-year stretch in which the Longhorns lost five more games than they won throughout back-to-back-to-back losing seasons.
