Turn Out the Lights
Oh, where to even begin. You had this feeling that our secondary was going to really let us down at some point. It just happened to be the same day that Colt gets knocked out of the game, and instead of the rest of the team stepping up and filling the void, they do everything in their power to give the game away...and they did. Two crucial fumbles by Charles and Young in the second half. A blocked punt. I can't even remember the last blocked punt. Two consecutive halfback passes that worked. And a secondary that couldn't cover anyone (let's end the Aaron Ross Thorpe Award campaign).
Before the season, I had no thoughts of a repeat national championship. But with the emergence of McCoy and the number of teams losing in the last two weeks, it seemed more and more possible, which makes this loss even more disheartening. But now, Texas needs to get ready for the Aggies and, with a win, the Big 12 Championship game. A conference championship and Fiesta Bowl bid are still within this team's grasp and are still laudable achievements.
Go Horns
