How Texas co-OC/OL coach Herb Hand has impacted the running game
Herb HandWhen the Texas Longhorns hired co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Herb Hand away from the Auburn Tigers in January to provide a boost to the line and the running game, the question was how much Hand would really impact the offense.
Throughout the 2018 season, that’s been a fairly elusive question that hasn’t received a ton of attention, in large part because the offense has been so effective.
But I wanted to know what changes Hand has made in terms of technique and what tweaks he’s made to the running game, so that was a major focus for me on Tuesday during the media availabilities.
To start, I pressed junior center Zach Shackelford on the changes instituted by Hand.
