ESPN quotes Texas QB Colt McCoy, ”I don’t think there’s anybody in the country who can beat us at this point.” Of course, this is quite true, simply because there are no more games left for Texas this season. But this statement cannot be based on the Longhorns’ performance on the field tonight.
The pre-game buzz centered around some type of statement that an overwhelming Texas victory would send to the poll voters in split-championship dream fantasy.
Color me unimpressed. Texas was physically manhandled by the underdogs from the Big Ten Conference. Yes, they won the game, but it was another underwhelming performance by the much-ballyhooed Big-12.
For most of the night, the Buckeyes stifled the high-powered Longhorns, who averaged 43.9 points this season but mustered only a field goal in the first half. They didn’t lead until a nifty third-quarter touchdown run by McCoy, who also threw for 414 yards and two scores with an interception.

Watched a little of it, but couldn’t get interested. I wanted both teams to lose, like the Rose Bowl, and I’m a UT alumn.
UT was hoping for what USC got a few years ago. USC didn’t even play in the BCS Championship game, but won the AP poll, and ever since, they have claimed they won two National Championships.
If UT had done what Utah did to the best of the ballyhooed SEC, they may have pulled it off.
Now it is show time, and we have to wait three days…dangit!
Utah’s win was the 2nd most impressive performance I watched this bowl season. The best was the LSU smackdown of Georgia Tech.
Thursday night ought to be special!
The UT-OSU game sounded kinda lackluster over the radio this evening except for the last few minutes of the game. I hope Thursday nights game is a knockdown awesome performance. May the best team win even if I will be pulling for OU.
SOONERS!!!!!
So…..is college football over now
(fingers crossed)
Beto, didn’t see it.
I understand the spot was reviewed, and supported the official call. Good enough for me. At least they beat a yankee team.
Robert D, not quite yet. A game is on now, then the BCS National Championship thursday night.
I’ve been going over the NCAA stats for the season. Very interesting.
Especially the rankings for OU and FU.
it’s a game of inches, or so the old saying goes. The spot could have just as easily been short by the same inch. I didn’t have a problem with the call, but, being 4th down and all, it was certainly “adventageous”
