AUSTIN, Texas -- Joe Bergeron goes about 230 and could add 15-20 more pounds without a problem.
He is a punishing runner. He relishes the opportunity to go between the tackles. He knows how to pick up blocks in both the run and the passing game. And he is thought to be the odd man out in what will be a backfield full of talent in 2012. So the reasonable conclusion among many has been that Bergeron will be moved to fullback, a position where Texas lost Cody Johnson and Jamison Berryhill.
That would be the wrong conclusion, according to Texas co-offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin.
