As the warmer weather returns and the grass and flowers start to grow, all signs point to one thing: spring football practice is upon us. The successes or failures of last season are exactly that-last season. It’s time to focus energies on what could be coming down the road for college football and for the Texas Longhorns in particular. One …
While I don’t claim to possess a crystal ball and actually know what’s going to happen in the upcoming college football season, I do have a gut sense that there will be some teams who will rise to the occasion and some other programs who are going to hit a make-or-break year.
