As I’ve said with every single team that continues to schedule games and progress towards a fall season, it’s something we should applaud and celebrate.
Football has to happen in the fall, and you’re foolish if you think otherwise. There’s no reason I’ve seen so far as to why games can’t happen.

Texas is one of the most powerful programs in the history of college athletics. The fact that they’re gearing up to play is a great sign for the fate of the season.
Is Texas vs. UTEP going to set the world of football on fire? No, but it’s still a legit game between two teams in the Lone Star State.
That’s a reason for fans to get up and excited. Given all we’ve been through over the past week in the world of college football, I’ll take whatever I can get.

Let’s hope Texas proceeds through the season without any issues at all. It’s time to get back to playing football, and that’s exactly what the Longhorns are going to do.
