Young Texas secondary showing flashes of greatness and growing pains

All of a sudden, a starting secondary for the Texas Longhorns that was supposed to feature three seniors, a junior, and a freshman turned into a full-fledged youth movement on Saturday against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane due to injuries.

With senior cornerback Davante Davis out with a sprained neck and junior safety Brandon Jones sidelined with a high ankle sprain, sophomore Josh Thompson stepped in at nickel as senior PJ Locke III moved to safety and redshirt freshman Kobe Boyce replaced Davis opposite senior Kris Boyd.
