Texas Longhorns

This post is part of an ongoing series that recounts the on-the-field accomplishments of elite teams that were left out of the Bowl Championship Series title game. Click here to read about other teams prevented from proving themselves on the field in the postseason.   Who knew that a fraction of a percentage point could be more important than the final score in a football game? Well, in 2008, the University of Texas Longhorns found out just...  

So, we see that Cody has now been named as the FOURTH “starting” RB for the Longhorns for the tenth game of the season.  Gee, there’s a shocker, huh? Let’s recap how the season has progressed at this position thus far: Vondrell McGee was the starting RB on opening day, and held that position through the game with Wyoming.  He proceeded to rush for a nifty 70 yards and 4.7 average in game one against ULM, and followed that up with 61 yards...  

This was the cover for the Abilene Reporter-News special "Kickoff" football section in August 2004 - right before the start of Colt McCoy's senior year at Tuscola Jim Ned. (He announced he was going to Texas 3 months earlier). ...  

If if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, it’d be Christmas all year. If I ran for governor of Iowa , I would lose. If there was a 16-team college football playoff, it would be a dream. So none better than Iowa’s favorite son that nobody wanted to break down the dream playoff.   The 2009 BCS Playoff (records are projected) Automatic Bids ACC Champion: Georgia Tech (12-1) Big East Champion: Cincinnati (12-0) Conference USA Champion: Houston (12-1...  

With the SEC seemingly owning a spot in the BCS title game, the question is: Which team has earned a spot against Florida or Alabama? While some would like to dispute the place of primacy for the SEC, especially if Florida wins out with what would be only two wins over top-25 teams (LSU and Alabama), it is really meaningless to argue about this, given the current irrational state of college football. Instead, we need to focus on which of the...

The second-ranked Texas Longhorns enter the homestretch of the 2009 regular season by heading to Waco this Saturday to tangle with the Baylor Bears in Big 12 Conference action. Mack Brown's Texas club is 9-0 and in the driver's seat with respect to ...  

  I’ve watched UCF twice this year, so I may know more about this team than any human being on this planet. Offense Weird group. Basically, they have a bunch of WRs that look like Under Armour models, an OL that looks more imposing than their blocking, and they love to pound the ball despite the fact that their main RB is named Brynn. LOVELY BRYNN, DANCING ON STAGE FIVE! I pray that they’re recruiting a FB named Lexy. Brynn Harvey (173-679-7td...  

I don't know exactly what the odds are of Missouri upsetting No. 3 Texas on Saturday night, but, frankly, it may not matter. If college football has taught us anything, especially recently, it's that no team is immune from getting knocked off. To wit, a top 10 team has gone down each week this season . And with the exception of the season's fifth week—when several of the big boys took a Saturday off—a team within the top 5 has suffered the...  

As it stands now, Florida, Texas, and Alabama hold the top three spots in the BCS standings, and it doesn't seem like anything will change that until the forthcoming match up between Florida and Alabama in the SEC title game. Most have tabbed Florida the favorite in a game against Alabama, and it is likely that Florida would prevail and go on to face Texas in the BCS Championship game. However, Alabama tripping up Florida is a plausible...  

The Longhorns were almost fooled again when they had the ball on their own 1-yard line last Saturday and tried to run Cody Johnson out of the end zone in the I-formation. Remember in 2008 when Texas was stopped for a safety against Texas Tech after ...

Click here for the adjusted stats matchup preview . As always, all stats referenced below will be adjusted stats . This week’s game is certainly predicted to be a tighter affair than last week’s game in Columbia. Texas’ passing game performance against the Tigers has evened up the offensive numbers for the Longhorns. But this week the stats say the Longhorns' opponent is much stronger against the run than the pass. Oklahoma St. ranks...  

By Jim Vertuno | ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN – The No. 3 Texas Longhorns have given up 15 turnovers this season and have yet to pay much of a price for it. The defense simply won’t allow it. On the ensuing drives after the turnovers, opponents have scored just one touchdown and one field goal. Seven of those [...]
