Newy Scruggs, sports anchor at NBC5 in Dallas-Fort Worth (KXAS-TV) and radio host weekly from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on NBC Sports Radio Sirius XM 213/202 and NBCSportsRadio.com, answered questions during a live chat Wednesday. Below are highlights, edited for clarity.
Is Texas making significant progress, or are they right on schedule for where you thought they would be this season?
Scruggs: Texas is on pace of what I thought they would be with Tom Herman. Texas fans always think their team is better than it actually is. I didn't expect Texas to win the Big 12 title this year.
