As Iowa State, TCU and Texas Tech prepare to open spring practice next week, we’re discussing spring storylines at the Big 12 roundtable.
What’s the most important storyline for one team or a group of teams in the Big 12 this spring?
Mitch Sherman: I’ll stick with Texas. Football in the state of Texas needs the Longhorns to improve. The Big 12 needs Texas to get better. I’ll argue that college football at large is a better game when Texas competes, at minimum, for a conference title. New coach Tom Herman's quest in Austin began three months ago, but spring practice marks a key step in Texas' progression.
