ARLINGTON, Texas — Tom Herman knows that Texas is probably a bit ahead of schedule after 10 wins in his second season that included making the Big 12 championship game and a Sugar Bowl victory.
That doesn't necessarily mean the Longhorns are back just yet.
"We weren't here to just have a really good season in Year 2," Herman said Tuesday. "We were here to rebuild a program that's capable of sustaining success, and we feel like we're on the way there."
With junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger, the preseason Big 12 offensive player of the year, the Longhorns are picked to again finish second in the league behind four-time defending champion Oklahoma.
