Fan-friendly Orange-White game format contributed to some Texas struggles

With new athletics director Chris Del Conte focused on improving the fan experience for the Orange-White game, Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman made some sacrifices.

“I do like the way that we did it last year a little bit better because I feel like we’ve got some really, really good work,” Herman said. “I do understand if we’re going to ask our fans to come to the game, we need to also make it enjoyable for them, too.”

In 2017, for instance, Herman split up the offense and defense and used a complicated scoring system for fans that wasn’t easy to follow.
