Tom Herman explains the offensive game-planning process

With declining offensive production since scoring 50 points in regulation against the Kansas Jayhawks last month, the play-calling and game-planning processes for Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman and offensive coordinator Tim Beck are once again a topic of conversation.

On Monday, Herman described a game-planning process that includes input from analysts and assistants.

Offensive analysts like Jordan Salkin, who was temporarily promoted to the coaching staff last year when Beck was ill, are responsible for the deep digs into opponents, like how defenses align against certain formations based on factors like the placement of the running back and the alignment of the tight end.
