On Wednesday, Texas Longhorns defensive coordinator Todd Orlando met with the media to discuss the state of his group with the season opener against the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs looming on Saturday evening.
One of the most surprising developments during preseason camp was the emergence of sophomore cornerback Kobe Boyce, who struggled last season in his appearances.
“Yeah, he’s playing with a lot more confidence,” Orlando said. “I think beforehand there was a little bit of uncertainty, and I don’t think it has anything to do with the kid, I just think that he had some people in front of him and that’s kind of always been his role.
