Bruce Feldman has an article about Texas in the Athletic today and I thought this was an interesting tidbit:
Leaders have stepped up in a big way. On offense it’s been sophomore QB Sam Ehlinger and wide receiver LJ Humphrey. After the Tulsa game two weeks ago, Ehlinger created a goal chart for the team with 10 categories that now hangs in the locker room.
“We needed to be more intrinsically focused,” he said. Tops on that list: score on the first possession. Other things on there: no three-and-outs; no turnovers, score at least 80 percent in the red zone. Ehlinger says if the team hits on at least seven of the 10 each week, he plans to reward his teammates by buying them something good to eat, maybe donuts or tacos.
