It was a busy day on Wednesday with the fallout of the Pac-12 and Big Ten Conferences announcing they wouldn’t proceed towards a fall season. While the Big 12 would come to the conclusion that they would indeed move forward much like the ACC and SEC Conferences. Ohio State already feeling the pressure as one player decommited from the program.
Former Longhorn All-American offensive tackle Connor Williams is preparing for the upcoming season. However, Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy announced that Williams would not be a full go in camp and would need to be worked in. He is recovering from an ACL tear he suffered late last season. Tony Field II committed to West Virginia over Texas.
With the Big 12 conference schedule now released, we know when and where each team will play in the upcoming season. The conference opener was set against Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas but that game was moved to the end of the schedule. The Longhorns will instead open up against Texas Tech in Lubbock on September 26th. We discuss the schedule at length.
Following the schedule announcement, commissioner Bob Bowlsby took part in a conference call. On this call he discussed the reasoning for moving forward with the football season as planned. Two players, Sam Ehlinger and Caden Sterns were among the athletes consulted about player safety.
