| Longhorns Big 12 favorites again?
According to a recent article by AP sportswriter Jaime Aron, the Texas Longhorns may once again be the consensus favorite in the Big 12.
"Oklahoma got the nod, in part because the Sooners went through the growing pains of breaking in a young quarterback last season," writes Aron. "Sophomore Rhett Bomar won six of his last seven games and was only expected to get better, especially with running back Adrian Peterson returning to full strength... Then, last week, Bomar was kicked off the team for violating NCAA rules"
"So, ready or not, the Longhorns became the Big 12 favorites again," the writer continues. "Years of highly ranked recruiting classes have left Texas loaded with talent. Coach Mack Brown has 16 returning starters, including sophomore running back Jamaal Charles, and depth at nearly every position..."
Does this mean that the pressure is officially back on Brown and the Longhorns to repeat as conference champs? |
