Don’t expect to see Devin Duvernay or any other new faces back catching punts for the Texas Longhorns against the West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown this weekend.
After holding a 45-minute special teams practice on Friday, head coach Tom Herman indicated on Monday that freshman wide receiver Jake Smith and senior safety Brandon Jones will continue fielding punts against West Virginia after both players fumbled against Oklahoma State.
Herman made that decision in part because there were reasons for both of those mistakes.
“They’re both unique instances when they dropped it,” Herman said.
