Tom Herman addresses tackling issues

The 2018 OU-Texas game was notable for the Sooners’ inability to tackle UT receiver Lil’ Jordan Humphrey. The Longhorns won 48-45. The 2019 OU-Texas game was notable for the ‘Horns’ inability to tackle OU receiver CeeDee Lamb. The Sooners won 34-27.

Lamb scored three touchdowns, two of them by running away from or through a pack of defenders. Five Longhorns surrounded Lamb on what became his second touchdown; three surrounded Lamb on what became his third TD.

“We have definitely already addressed the tackling,” Texas coach Tom Herman said Monday on the Big 12 teleconference.
