Though it was only a little over 730 days ago that the Texas Longhorns traveled to Lawrence and lost to the Kansas Jayhawks, 24-21, to seal the end of the Charlie Strong era, the passage of time in culture years is significantly greater, according to head coach Tom Herman.
“I feel like that program that went there, I feel like that was 50 years ago, not two years ago,” Herman said on Monday. “We’re so far past that point in our program.”
Indeed, the Horns have transformed from a program with plenty of talent that played at a level less than the sum of its parts into a program that Herman now believes is overachieving.
