“You sense it, because no one’s given up,” linebacker Joseph Ossai told the Austin American-Statesman’s Hookem.com. “You see, if you watch the games, we’re still fighting. We still believe and we still have hope in him. We have hope in ourselves because we can get it done.”
But while journalists and fans speculate about where, exactly, the Texas Longhorns went wrong during the 2019 campaign, the players and coaching staff said they’re back to work as they prepare for a short week in the lead-up to taking on the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
