Texas Needs a “Statement” Running Back | Will Matthews Previews the Longhorns’ First Test

Former Texas fullback Will Matthews joins the show to discuss what he wants to see from the Longhorns on Saturday, beginning with a professional, focused performance regardless of the opponent. Matthews explains why emotional maturity is essential for freshmen expected to contribute immediately and highlights the preparation and sacrifice required to succeed at a program like Texas.

Matthews also breaks down the biggest question facing the Longhorns’ running backs: Who will become the physical, dependable option in critical short-yardage situations? He discusses the expectations for Hollywood Smothers, Raleek Brown and Derrek Cooper, the mentality needed to maximize imperfectly blocked runs and the demanding standard Will Muschamp has brought to the entire team.
