/vomits
Way too much black, don’t you think? The traditional Texas uniforms are thought to be some of the best in all of college football. So, what is driving this change? Well, for starters, money.

The 2011 Texas Longhorns football team runs the ball well, you could even say with dominance. The efforts of true freshmen Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown, combined with the explosive speed of D.J. Monroe and the veteran smarts and elusivness of Fozzy Whittaker have made the running back unit for Texas one to be reckoned with.
