In the immediate aftermath of that excruciating loss to West Virginia it may be hard to see how much better our team and program is than it was just a year ago. My hat is off to Tom Herman. His charges didn’t get it done today but he picked the right quarterback to lead the team and has instilled a mental toughness in the Longhorns that has been missing since Colt McCoy departed.

On the subject of the quarterback, Sam Ehlinger played another great game. From the perspective of 50 plus years of observing Texas Football, I’m telling you now that we have our next heir to James Street, Vince Young, and Colt McCoy.

If you’re feeling down, buck up. Things are about to get a lot better for the Orange and White.

HooK ‘Em,

W.E.
