Texas has in its burnt orange hands a new season, an up-tempo offense, a newly promoted co-offensive coordinator, a third-year starting quarterback and a bevy of receivers ready to step up.
Junior closer Corey Knebel has been reinstated to the Longhorn roster after being suspended for Texas’ three-game weekend series against Kansas due to a violation of team policies.
After dropping its fourth conference series in as many tries this weekend in Kansas, Texas returns home Tuesday to kick off a five-game home stand against Texas-Pan American.
The No. 6 Longhorns swept Iowa State (18-22, 3-6) this week to improve to 38-4, remain undefeated in conference play and extend their winning streak to 15 games.
Another Big 12 series slipped through the Longhorns’ fingers Sunday afternoon. Texas dropped the rubber match to Kansas, 4-3, on Sunday, dropping two of three games to the Jayhawks this past weekend.
He only played roughly 1,200 minutes as a Longhorn, and he will most likely be remembered more for a suspension than for any one moment during his two years at Texas.
