Texas Longhorns head coach saw it coming when sophomore quarterback Casey Thompson stepped in for an injured Sam Ehlinger, only to completely dominate.
Per the
Dallas Morning News, Herman said, “Really, really proud of him. We knew at halftime that there was a strong possibility he was going to have to finish the game for us. Thought Mike Yurcich called a great second half for him, some max protection. This was a very, very complicated, complex, disruptive defense that we were playing. I thought Mike simplified the game for Casey, and Casey and his receivers delivered.” Herman continued, “I mean, nobody was surprised. Maybe all of you were because he hasn’t played a whole lot. But we’ve seen him in practice for three years. None of us were surprised.”

The Associated Press has named Texas Longhorns junior defensive end Joseph Ossai to the 2020 All-America team. The
Austin American-Statesman first reported the news today.
Makes sense after a stellar season for Ossai, who’s now the 145th player in university history to earn All-America honors. He’s also the first Longhorn to receive the honor since 2017.
Ossai will now prepare for the NFL Draft after announcing his intention to opt out of the Longhorns’ postseason Alamo Bowl game against the Colorado Buffaloes on Tuesday.

It’s no secret that the Charlie Strong era of Texas Longhorns recruits were never fans of Tom Herman when he came in to coach Texas prior to the 2017 season. Former Texas defensive lineman Charles Omenihu even went as far as to blame bad coaching for the Longhorns’ 2018 Big 12 Championship loss to the Oklahoma Sooners in Herman’s second year.
“My senior year, if we had better coaching, we would have whooped them,” Omenihu wrote on Twitter in a since deleted tweet.
