Former Texas star on the Longhorns’ future under Tom Herman: 'Put on some sunglasses. It’s that bright.'

After filming a recent appearance for ESPN, former Texas star linebacker Emmanuel Acho answered a few questions from SportsDay.

The Longhorn Network anchor and ESPN analyst shared his thoughts on what Year 3 under Tom Herman could hold and how the program can become an annual College Football Playoff contender.

Here are his answers, lightly edited for clarity.
