Knock Tom Herman all you want but one thing he does well is get his team ready to go for bowl season. Wins against Missouri in the Texas Bowl, Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, and Utah in the Alamo Bowl sees the Longhorns with a 3-0 bowl record under Herman.

All three of the wins have been fairly comfortable ones as well. The Missouri and Utah wins were both by double digits, while Texas led Georgia by 21 in the fourth quarter before wrapping up a seven-point victory. The Longhorns have shown out in the postseason.

With his job on the line, can Herman produce the same bowl magic against Colorado? There will be a lot to play for with Sam Ehlinger possibly playing his final game and a ton of young players getting action. Four straight bowl wins would be the longest streak since 2005-2008.
