OTF update an hour ago via CJ Vogel:
Just like you, I too am scarred by Tom Herman telling me every Wednesday or Thursday that the week of practice leading up to a big game has been amongst the best the Longhorns have ever had.
So if you want to tap out now, feel free, I won't blame you.
However, I will tell you that the quarterback at The University of Texas has received extensive praise from the Texas coaching staff during the Longhorns' preparation for the defending National Champions.
Even with shuffling on the offensive line, the Texas quarterback has had command of practice and looked incredibly sharp in practice this week. Again, I understand this is often said in lead-ups to big games, but you don't often see your head coach laughing and joking with the media while on the podium if practice went poorly.
Also, aside from the practice focus, I have been told Arch Manning is the first in the facility each morning – confirming what CJ Baxter mentioned in his media availability on Monday.
We will see how it translates, but a sharp week of practice has folks growingly confident in Austin.
