AUSTIN – On Saturday afternoon at Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium, Texas students caught their first glimpse of Texas football in the Tom Herman era. And from their vantage point on the field, often mere inches from players, their view was better than most.
Saturday's Student Appreciation Day, the first of its kind at Texas, offered current students an exclusive opportunity to stand on the field while the team participated in drills and a scrimmage. The practice provided welcome relief for football-starved students, who stuck out several hours in the sun for the chance to interact with players after practice concluded.
