Don’t get me wrong, I’m tired of the “Texas is Back” claims but 2022 will show that there is a new era of football forming in Austin, one that is highlighted by high-scoring, all-around offense that is paired with a hard-nosed defense. And with the SEC on the horizon, the timing for Texas footbal could not be any better.
It may be tough to say now, but you will be saying it after this season.
Texas. Is. Back.
