They're playing what is possibly the third worst team in the Big 12, one that can't even handle a coin toss correctly.

How the heck do you not get opening kickoff for 1st or 2nd half of a game? Come on man.

He may want to understand how the coin toss works, come on UCLA defers to the 2nd half and Texas declines getting the ball to open the game so now UCLA get the ball to open game and coming out after halftime? That is on HC

UCLA has a QB that is in the Heisman talk and is projected to be a First rounder had he came out last year and is still projected to be a 1st rounder this coming draft.
You lose a player of that quality and it is going to hurt your team...whether others view that team as being over rated or not.

I watched some of the game. JerryWorld was nowhere near capacity. You would think it would have been.

That reality is hitting home in Austin too, I'm likely going to get a Baylor vs. UT ticket at a very reasonable price, and it may be a plurality or predominantly Baylor crowd at kickoff.

I kept thinking they maybe had sections blocked off but it wasn't that.

That's too bad. I know everytime I watched them he either got hurt or was hurt.

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas Longhorns quarterback David Ash has elected to end his football career after struggling with concussion-related symptoms for the past year.
Coach Charlie Strong announced the junior quarterback's decision after practice Wednesday. Ash had started 22 games in his career with the Longhorns but was shut down on Sept. 1 after experiencing more symptoms.

Texas quarterback David Ash has faced numerous setbacks in his effort to return to the field after suffering a concussion a year ago, writes Max Olson. Story
"We just decided, because of his health -- that's the No. 1 concern for all of us -- that he's no longer going to play football," Strong said. "But he is going to be part of the team, because I told him I wanted him around the team and that's what he deserves."
Ash suffered a concussion last September at BYU and played in just two games since then. He met with Strong on Wednesday and agreed it was in his best long-term interest to stop playing.
"The trainers and doctors had been working with him and, like I said, his health is our major concern," Strong said. "We sat down to talk and he said, 'Coach, this is what I'd like to do.'"

Strong said there was "no way" Texas coaches and trainers could allow Ash to continue playing considering his concussion history. But it was Ash's decision to officially end his playing career.
"It was a very tough call for him," Strong said. "He's very emotional. He's done a lot for this program, been a major part of this university."
Ash finished his career with 4,728 passing yards and 36 total touchdowns in his career.

I just saw a story on the NFL Network of a player..I forget his name...he had a history of concussions & he has trouble speaking. He said he knows what he wants to say but he can't get the words out of his mouth.
He has 3 young daughters & he wrote them a letter because he knows down the road he may not be able to talk to them.
It was very sad. He's a young guy & he's got serious complications from playing football & having concussions.

you have to wonder how dumb a player is to see all of these players getting booted from the team or suspended for games and STILL do something to get yourself booted. Ninth player...NINTH. Did you not learn after 5th through 8th lol.
Maybe Texas is much better in the long run by getting rid of some idiots.
