Texas players need to step up in bowl practices for 2009

One of the most underrated and under talked about advantage of getting to a bowl game is the extra practices it affords the staff and the players. While teams do focus on preparing for the upcoming game, most teams invest a good amount of time practicing the redshirt players and some guys that played but didn't see significant minutes. These practices serve as a spring board for spring ball for the team and the individual players. Last year's Holiday Bowl practices for the Longhorns are when names like Earl Thomas and Malcolm Williams began to pop up. Texas would like a few guys to step up this year, much like last year's team was able to do. Here are some of the players that could use a good showing. Check out the list at 40 Acres Sports!
