First-year Texas coach Tom Herman knows a Longhorns’ resurgence won’t come without reclaiming supremacy in the state.
That means handling business against in-state, Big 12 rivals Baylor, Texas Tech and TCU. The Longhorns (4-4, 3-2 in the Big 12) play the Horned Frogs (7-1, 4-1) at 6:15 p.m. Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
The Horned Frogs, especially, have been rough on the Longhorns in recent years. TCU has won the past three against Texas by a combined score of 129-26. It has been ugly for the Horns.
“We haven’t performed well against them since they joined the conference and they’re an in-state school and we take those games very seriously,” Herman said.
