AUSTIN - Again, a building optimism surrounds the start of a Texas football season under Tom Herman.
Again, national media and Top 25 polls suggest that the Longhorns’ long absence from the national discussion may be nearly over.
And once again, Maryland represents the first test to those theories - just like it did last season when the Terrapins posted a 51-41 win in Herman’s Texas head coaching debut, derailing a whole lot of momentum from a popular hire. Just for the record, Herman knows what can go wrong - even with all the turmoil surrounding the Maryland program.
