Texas resorting to punitive measures in effort to reduce penalties
Ricardo B. Brazziell-USA TODAY Sports The scene is all too familiar since Tom Herman took over the Texas Longhorns program.
A yellow flag on the field.
An official signaling yet another penalty on the Longhorns.
Now Herman and his staff are resorting to desperate measures with the team underachieving at 2-2 and the Herman era threatening to come apart at the seams in his fourth season on the Forty Acres thanks to numerous mistakes.
“Guys that commit foolish penalties will be punished,” Herman said last week. “I’ve never, never, never been in a program that we’ve done that before. Some of the new coaches have been and so moving forward we’ll punish foolish penalties.”
