When I coined the phrase 'The Year Before The Year' for the 2022 Texas Longhorns, it didn't mean they wouldn't win games. It just meant the team wasn't ready to win big. Similarly, when I use the same phrase to describe expectations for these young Longhorns, it doesn't mean they won't play. I actually expect meaningful snaps for most, if not all, this season. Meaningful means, snaps played when games are still in doubt.
