Longhorns vs Aggies

[ologan]

OMG...who was that idiot that got the late hit out of bounds....wow...what a fool.

For a minute there,I thought I was watching a Mark Richt team after that bonehead penalty.

This game was very similar to the 2005 Texas/Texas A&M game; Stephen McGee and the Aggie offense completely befuddled the Longhorn defense. Yet, the Longhorns still managed to win the national championship. Tightly-contested games against the Aggies seem to bode well for the Longhorns.

after some of the close games against garbage teams by Florida and Bama this season, this 10 point shootout victory better not hurt the Horns.

also, it better catapult Colt to the top of the Heisman race, while elevating Johnson into next season's Heisman race.

I am shocked the D played that bad. Yeah aggy O played out of their minds, Johnson was great, perfect passes into good coverage, making great plays on third down..but still. I was wiggin' out the whole game.

Won't hurt Texas Big. I'll be at the game in Arlington, no worries there for me, Nebraska has no offense at all. Good D but if we score 20 we win.

Colt should be the Heisman fave, I think if he has a good game next weekend he wins.

I dunno, Colt only accounted for 478 yards of total offense and 5 TDs (302 passing, 176 rushing)... you think that's Heisman-worthy??

Colt did struggle (for him) first few games of the season(put too much pressure on himself to duplicate last season's #'s). But he's been PHENOMENAL in the last 6 games. 1,800 yards, 16 TD's, 2 int's, over 70%, I think around 400 yards rushing. He deserves it.

Damn, so close. A&M had several opportunities in the 4th and just blew all of them. The KO return for a TD really killed us.

This is the first QB Texas has faced that can hurt you throwing or running the ball. In addition, A&M has a very ballanced running game to go with a passing game that was unconscoius last night. TAM WRs were catching everything. By far, the best I've ever seen them play. Defensively, that puts a huge amount of pressure on a defense. It's what Colt and Vince did to others on a regular basis. The defense was not prepaired well enough to contain the TAM offense. That's rare with a Muschamp team. The good news is that even though our defense was caught flat footed, our offense was just too strong to be stopped.

I believe that Colt should win the Heisman but I'll tell you, the East Coast guys will say that Texas needed a return to win it and that Colt was not the difference. This is BS IMO but that's what they will say. The East Coast writters are probably in the bag for the kid from Bama.

 

[Shady12]

They may say that but a game like this might be his only chance to win it..Because if they'd blown them out he would have ended up with about 20 passes and 180 yards or so as has happened a few times this season which wouldn't have helped him at all.

I think the kid from Bama killed his chances in the Auburn game (16 carries, 32 yards)...

We'll see. I think he was injured in that game so we will see if he comes back for the SEC Championship. If he carries the weight in that game, I think he's right back on top with the East Coast. If he can't, then your probably right. He's out.

 

[Biggems]

Note on Goodwin.........he is a sprinter with world class speed........so doesnt it make sense that when he started running north/south instead of east/west upon receiving the K/O that he was able to return it for a TD.

This isn't rocket science.....catch the ball and run upfield as fast as you can......stop running sideline to sideline upon the initial catching of the kick.

He and Monroe should be huge weapons in our kicking game for the next few years. I am highly excited.

Even if he was injured, the Heisman voters don't factor in injuries in their voting... if they did, Tebow would still be near the top of the list...in the past, all that has mattered to those voters in season-long performance... well, except that performances in games near the end of the season seem to take on more weight... Ingram had a chance to shine in a big game, and failed...

Of course, if he comes up really big in the SEC Championship game, it might offset that failure, but I remain convinced that he blew it this weekend... and for that matter, so did CJ Spiller... but Toby Gerhart from Stanford likely jumped up the charts with his 200 yard plus game against Notre Dame...

At this point, if I had to rate the Heisman contenders, I'd put them in this order:

Colt McCoy
Toby Gerhart
Case Keenum
Mark Ingram
Tim Tebow
CJ Spiller
Jordan Shipley
