Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights.
Q: Texas will likely lose to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, and they will fall to 9-5 on the season. Is that still a successful year for Tom Herman and company?
Carlton: That's a good question. One on hand, Texas will have played for the Big 12 title and reached a New Year's Six bowl. If someone would have forecast those two occurrences when Tom Herman was hired, people would said it would definitely be a mark of progress.
