Longhorns Daily News: Urban Meyer on Texas’ Big 12 matchup: ‘I think they beat Kansas’

Former Florida Gators and Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer hasn’t been shy in terms of his fandom for the Texas Longhorns this year. Texas’ Week 5 matchup against the Kansas Jayhawks – who are new and improved under head coach Lance Leipold – is no exception.

“[Texas has] one of the most talented rosters in college football,” Meyer said, according to On3. “They’re well coached, and they went to Tuscaloosa and, and beat, didn’t upset, they beat Alabama. I have him as my number one team in America.”

“I think they beat Kansas,” Meyer added. “I’m not taking away from Kansas. I just like Lawrence, too. I’ve been there a couple of times. I just never quite understood why Lawrence, Kansas can’t, can’t have a good quality football team. And now they have a good quality football coach. So I hope this coach stays there because he’s really doing a great job there.”
