Texas Longhorns vs. California Golden Bears Complete Game Preview

The high-scoring California Golden Bears travel to Austin this week to take on a Texas team that's learning as it goes.

Charlie Strong's group has absolutely felt the loss of 10 starters from last season, especially on defense. Through two games, the Horns are allowing over 500 yards of offense per game while averaging just 163 for themselves.

It's a work in progress, but Strong seems to have finally found an answer to his problem at quarterback. Making his first career start, redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard led a rejuvenated attack against Rice, generating several big plays en route to a 42-28 win over the Owls.
