It appears as far as pure production goes, the rushing attack for the Texas football program is getting more effective under Tom Herman of late.

The way that the offense evolved under the direction of head coach Tom Herman for the Texas football program in the last couple of years was an interesting development for the fans. Herman does have an offensive system that places a lot of pressure on the quarterback to go through multiple reads very fast, and be able to use his legs to break an opposing defense.
