Tom Herman Has His Texas Staff Scouring Message Boards & Social Media To Scout Baylor

With teams not practicing and no pre-season scrimmages, scouting during a pandemic has coaches looking elsewhere for an advantage. Like Texas, who is playing Baylor this weekend and had three games postponed so far and had 42 positive COVID cases. So Longhorns coach Tom Herman has everyone in the building checking message boards. Per the Austin American-Statesman:

We’ve got graduate assistants and secretaries and student assistants scouring the Baylor media sites, especially their message boards and fan boards; if they’re anything like ours, if a guy sprains an ankle in practice, the sky is falling. So you’ve got to disseminate what’s real and what’s not real. We’re trying to figure out who we’re going to play, who the players are going to be. … Right now, our assumption is that Baylor will be here. How many players they’ll have active for that game, I’m not quite sure.
