CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli says to pump the breaks on Texas hype, says Oklahoma shouldn’t be worried yet

It followed a 7-3 season for the Longhorns that was capped off with a win in the Alamo Bowl over Colorado days prior, but it wasn’t good enough for AD Chris Del Conte and Texas faithful. They want to reach new heights as a program that has not won a Big 12 Championship since 2009 under former head coach Mack Brown .

Perhaps the most notable was landing the commitment of 2022 five-star pro-style quarterback Maalik Murphy out of Gardena (Calif.)

There’s no denying that there … [Read more...] about CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli says to pump the breaks on Texas hype, says Oklahoma shouldn’t be worried yet
