AUSTIN, Texas -- Charlie Strong promised changes on Monday. He put the blame for a 50-43 road loss to Cal on coaches, not players. He used the word "accountability" repeatedly.
The message was clear, even if he wouldn't say it: Strong is going to take over Texas' defense. He's going to devote more of his time over the next two weeks to repairing that unit than anything else. The man was hired at Texas for his reputation as a defensive guru. Texas needs that defensive guru right now.
