No. 14 Texas eager to get to kickoff with opener vs UTEP

FILE - Texas football players are reflected in the glasses of coach Tom Herman in Austin, Texas, Thursday, June 4, 2020, after they marched to the State Capitol during a protest over the death of George Floyd, who died May 25 after being restrained by police in Minneapolis. Back when everything was still normal in college football, Texas coach Tom Herman did some house cleaning. Tossed out were the offensive and defensive coordinators in favor of new assistants with past connections to Herman and the Big 12. By spring, four more new assistants were on staff. Such a major rebuild after a disappointing 8-5 finish in 2019 would typically raise the temperature on a fourth-year coach who is 25-15 with the Longhorns and paid $6.2 million in expectation that No. 14 Texas will soon return to a Big 12 championship not won in more than a decade.(AP Photo/Eric Gay, File)
