TEXAS A&M AGGIES (5-5, 3-5)
VS.
#20 TEXAS LONGHORNS (7-3, 5-3)


Week_13.png


On Saturday, the Aggies did not come knocking on Texas' door...they kicked the damn door off it's hinges, shit on the carpet, and burned the house down. And while sophomore quarterback Jameill Showers had his way with the Longhorns' defense, Case McCoy had one of the most miserable performances in Texas history, resulting in a devastating 44-6 loss in the Lone Star Showdown.

Enough can't be said about the play of Jameill Showers, who simply embarassed Texas for sixty minutes. He completed 21 of 43 passes for 205 yards and two touchdowns, completing passes to seven different players. Leading the receiver corps was senior Ryan Swope, who had seven catches for 70 yards. But Showers impressed the most with his legs, leading the ground game with 126 yards and two more scores off 20 carries for an average of 6.3 yards per touch, racking up 331 all-purpose yards and scoring four of the team's five touchdowns on the day. Meanwhile, runningbacks Christine Michael and Ben Malena added another 96 yards and a touchdown off 21 carries. And while the offense was having their way, Texas A&M's defense was an immovable object, recording six sacks, two turnovers, and limiting the Longhorns to a season-low 128 total offensive yards.

As for the Longhorns, there was little reason to celebrate on Saturday as they suffered back-to-back losses for the second time this season, and it happened against two in-state rivals no less. After showing marked improvement over the last few weeks, Case McCoy put in what might be the worst performance by a quarterback in Texas' storied history, completing just two (TWO!) of his 15 attempted passes for 17 yards, finishing the day with a QB rating of 22.8. The ground game didn't fare much better, with Malcolm Brown, Joe Bergeron, and true freshman Daje Johnson combining for 103 yards off 27 carries. For the second time this year, the Longhorns' offense failed to score a touchdown in a game, converted just three of fifteen 3rd down tries, and scored three points in two redzone trips. Defensively, Texas recorded no sacks, one turnover, and allowed 41 points in seven redzone trips, most of those points coming in the 4th quarter.

"It's embarassing," said head coach Major Applewhite after the game. "I'm embarassed to be this team's coach today, and every player on that field should be embarassed. We didn't represent this great university today...we looked like a group of 3rd string kids off a pop-warner team. We got our asses kicked, plain and simple, from start to finish. The only good thing to happen was when the game ended. Now we have to try and put this one behind us, and finish strong."

It's sure to be five long days of practice for the team as they prepare for their 2012 season finale on the road against TCU (6-4, 4-4), one of the newest members of the Big XII conference. Hoping to finish with an 8-4 record and at least one win in the state, the Longhorns will surely be fired up to take on the Horned Frogs, who have had their fair share of struggles this season thanks to their 102nd ranked defense, but have also fielded a 2nd ranked offense that averages 459 yards per game.

TEXAS WRAPS UP RECRUITING CLASS WITH FINAL TWO COMMITMENTS
With just twelve spots open on the roster next season, the Longhorns' 2012 recruiting class was always going to be a small one. This past week, the team added the final two pieces. Four-star prospect Brandon Capps (OLB), a Texas native, is one of the most outstanding recruits landed, and will add to Texas' deep linebacker corps. He was ranked 87th overall, and 5th among outside linebackers in the country. The team's three starters are relatively young, so Capps will almost certainly redshirt next season, but he could have a chance at a starting spot in 2014. The Longhorns also added four-star prospect Paul Hall of Richland, WA, the #2 overall recruit coming out of the state. Hall joins a receiver corps that will still be crowded next season despite losing three players to graduation, and will face an uphill climb to break into the starting lineup anytime in the near future.

TEXAS LONGHORNS (7-4, 5-3)
VS.
TCU HORNED FROGS (6-4, 4-4)


TURNOVER WOES CONTINUE AS TCU STOMPS TEXAS
THE LONGHORNS COMMITTED SIX TURNOVERS IN THEIR REGULAR SEASON FINALE LOSS​


A promising season ended in disappointment on Saturday as the Longhorns lost their third straight game to an in-state foe in as many weeks. Up against Big XII newcomer TCU, Texas committed six costly turnovers in a lopsided 42-14 loss. Case McCoy continued to struggle at quarterback, completing just 7 of 24 passes for 88 yards, and throwing four interceptions. Groundwise, Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron combined for 120 yards and a touchdown off 27 carries. Texas' defense recorded two sacks and an interception, and limited the Horned Frogs to 316 total offensive yards, but the offensive turnovers negated all of their hard work. As for TCU, junior quarterback Casey Pachall completed 75% of his 20 passes for 122 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, and also rushed for 33 yards and another score while runningbacks Matthew Tucker and Waymon James combined for 156 yards and two touchdowns off 34 carries. With a turnover differential of -11, the Longhorns finished 116th in the league in that category. After matching their win total from a year ago, the Longhorns will rest in the final week of the regular season as they await the news of which bowl they will be heading to in the postseason.

Bowl.png


In a case of the final score not truly telling the full story, the Longhorns walked away from the Meineke Car Care Bowl with a 32-20 victory over Indiana, but dominated their opponents in every fact of the game. Case McCoy led the offense like a seasoned pro, Malcolm Brown was nearly unstoppable on the ground, and the defense was a brick wall as Texas ended 2012 on a high note with their 8th win of the season.

Hoping to solidify his spot as the team's starter next year, junior quarterback Case McCoy completed 21 of his 39 passes for 279 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception to finish with a QB rating of 134.1. His go-to man was true sophomore Jaxon Shipley, who had a team-leading nine catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns, while senior Marquise Goodwin went out on top with four catches for 117 yards and a score. On the ground, true sophomore Malcolm Brown capped off a great season with 164 yards and a touchdown off 23 carries, averaging 7.1 yards per touch, and senior backup runningback Joe Bergeron ended his collegiate career with 61 yards off 12 carries. Defensively, the Longhorns recorded one sack, limited Indiana to 215 total offensive yards, allowed just one successful conversion on nine 3rd down tries, held their opponent to six points in two redzone trips, and did not allow a single offensive touchdown. Indiana returned an interception and a kickoff for touchdowns in the game.

On the other side of the ball, there wasn't much to be happy about. Sophomore QB Tre Robinson completed just 6 of 21 passes for 104 yards, and managed only 29 rushing yards on nine carries. Speaking of the ground game, junior runningback Stephen Houston was limited to 62 yards off 11 carries. Defensively, the Hoosiers recorded six sacks and an interception, and must also be applauded for allowing only 32 points despite giving up 524 total offensive yards.

Another year of Longhorns football is in the books, but there will be plenty of work in the offseason. The future of Major Applewhite as the team's head coach is still up in the air, and the quarterback position is still not entirely settled. But most of the team's key players will be returning next year, so look for a much improved squad that will hope to compete for a Big XII title in 2013.
