Never Retreat, Never Surrender | A Texas Longhorns Dynasty

WEEK FIVE

Iowa_St..gif



#11 TEXAS LONGHORNS (2-1, 0-1)
VS.
IOWA ST. CYCLONES (1-2, 0-0)


GROUND GAME PUNISHES CYCLONES IN 45-7 VICTORY
TEXAS RACKED UP 275 RUSHING YARDS AND THREE TOUCHDOWNS IN THEIR 3RD WIN OF THE SEASON​


While the defense was busy stifling Iowa State on nearly every offensive drive, the Longhorns went back to their bread and butter offensively: the ground game. Led by Joe Bergeron and Jonathan Gray, #11 Texas managed nearly 300 rushing yards in their most convincing victory of the season, a 45-7 decision over the Cyclones to give the team their first conference win of 2014. Bergeron put up big numbers in the first half, rushing for 131 yards and a touchdowns off 16 carries for a ridiculous average of 8.1 yards per touch. But Gray was just as impressive in the final 30 minutes, carrying the ball 16 times for 101 yards and two scores to lead the offensive effort. David Ash was less impressive under center, but still effective, completing 9 of 20 passes for 119 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers. Connor Brewer came in with the 2nd team offense late in the game, and completed 3 of 5 passes for 45 yards and a score. Leading the receiving corps was true sophomore tight end Raishaun Blanco, who had four catches for 69 yards and a touchdown. In his second year as the team's starter at tight end, Blanco is quickly making a big impact as he currently leads the team with 15 catches for 286 yards and three scores on the year, which nearly matches his season total from all of last year (29 catches for 291 yards and 4 TDs in 2013). Defensively, the Longhorns were just as impressive, recording one sack, one interception, limiting the Cyclones to 250 yards of total offense, allowing zero redzone trips, and not giving up a touchdown until their 2nd team defense came on the field in the fourth quarter. With their confidence restored, the Longhorns will stay on the road next week to face off against Kansas (1-3, 0-3), who have suffered three straight double-digit losses to conference opponents coming into this game.

#10 TEXAS LONGHORNS (3-1, 1-1)
VS.
KANSAS JAYHAWKS (1-3, 0-3)


Week_6.png


Every season, there are a handful of games on Texas' schedule that can be circled in the summer as guaranteed wins for the team. This was one of those games. Up against a struggling Kansas team who had been blown out by Oklahoma State (33-14), Baylor (41-6), and TCU (24-20) coming into this contest, the Longhorns put little thought into improving to 4-1, 2-1 on the season. But an explosive second quarter by the Jayhawks, a solid performance by senior quarterback Turner Baty, two untimely Texas turnovers, and a 42-yard field goal as time expired all conspired to hand the Longhorns their second loss of the season in a stunning defeat over a top ten team.

Kansas' success on Saturday can be attributed to the play of senior quarterback Turner Baty, who completed 17 of 32 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns. Baty has played mistake free football at the helm of the offense, completing 53% of his passes for 1,079 yards and nine touchdowns with no interceptions this season. Leading the receiving corps was senior tight end Trent Smiley with five catches for 70 yards, while senior Jacorey Shepherd caught five passes for 62 yards, and true freshman Steve Wright racked up 48 yards and two touchdowns on four receptions. The ground game was also highly efficient, as runningbacks Tony Pierson and Marquis Jackson combined for 174 yards and a score off 29 carries, averaging 6.2 yards per touch. Defensively, Kansas allowed 406 total offensive yards and 31 points in five redzone trips, but also recorded one sack and two crucial turnovers that turned the tide of the game in the second quarter. With a renewed sense of confidence in tow, the Jayhawks will stay at home next week to host #15 Florida State (5-0, 5-0) in what they hope will be another dramatic upset of a Big XII foe.

On the other side of the ball, the Longhorns overcame a 24-10 deficit at halftime by scoring 14 unanswered points, but couldn't stop the Jayhawks from putting together one last offensive drive that landed them in field goal range with seconds left on the clock. David Ash had his fair share of struggles on the day, completing 48% of his 27 passes for 242 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also scored a touchdown on the ground, and lost a fumble. His go-to man was sophomore Cayleb Jones, who had four catches for 73 yards, while receiving leader Raishaun Blanco at tight end was limited to just one reception for three yards on the day. On the ground, Joe Bergeron rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown off 19 carries, and backup runningback Jonathan Grey added 51 yards and a score off nine carries. Texas' defense recorded three sacks and forced a turnover, but also allowed 409 yards of total offense, and a season-high 34 points to a team that ranked 108th coming into the game with a pitiful average of 20.5 points per game.

After suffering their second loss of the season to an unranked opponent and plummeting thirteen spots to #23 in the latest polls, the Longhorns return home from a three-game road stretch next week to host the Kansas State Wildcats (1-3, 0-2). Texas has not played at home since losing to Florida State 27-17 in week two, and are hoping for better fortune this time around. This will be the fourth straight game for Kansas State facing a ranked team, and might be their fourth straight loss if the Longhorns have anything to say about it. The Wildcats have just one win on the season, a 42-24 decision over winless UTSA (0-4, 0-0) in their season opener, but their punishing ground game led by the three-headed attack of runningbacks DeMarcus Robinson and Jarvis Leverett as well as junior QB Tavarius Bender ranks 7th nationally with an average of 255 rushing yards per game.

VS.
#23 TEXAS LONGHORNS (3-2, 1-2)


LONGHORNS RETURN TO FORM VS. KANSAS STATE
TEXAS CONTROLLED THE BALL FOR AN UNBELIEVABLE 40 MINUTES IN THEIR 38-10 VICTORY​


One week after suffering one of their worst upsets in recent memory, Texas returned to form at home with a beatdown of the Wildcats, who are still winless inside the conference. The Longhorns controlled the clock for an impressive 40 minutes, racking up 538 total offensive yards and five touchdowns with no costly turnovers. Leading the charge was their punishing ground game, which accounted for 64 plays, 373 yards, and three touchdowns. Joe Bergeron led the charge with 160 yards and a score off 23 carries, backup Jonathan Gray carried the ball 20 times for 128 yards, and sophomore fullback Luke O'Neal had 15 yards and a score off three carries. With 856 yards and five touchdowns through six games, Bergeron currently leads the Big XII in rushing yards, and is 3rd nationally. Through the air, David Ash was efficient in his limited throws, completing 11 of 18 passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns, and also rushed for 50 yards off 12 carries. As for the defense, the Longhorns recorded four sacks, forced one turnover, limited the Wildcats to 222 total offensive yards, and allowed just two successful conversions on eleven 3rd down attempts. But the win came with a bit of bad news as the team lost starting right tackle Shelton Fisher with a torn bicep. Fisher will miss the remainder of the regular season, but could return in the postseason. Taking his place in the starting lineup will be sophomore Camrhon Hughes. Next week, it's the date that Texas and Oklahoma circled in their calendars on January 1st as the 2014 Red River Rivalry gets underway in Dallas. Stay tuned for our full preview of the biggest game on the schedule.

LONGHORNS ADD FIRST NINE RECRUITS OF THE 2014 SEASON
It's been a slow year for Texas as far as recruiting is concerned this season, but after inviting nearly all of their sixteen targets to watch the team demolish Kansas State in Austin, the Longhorns landed nine commitments. First up at wide receiver, the team added four-star prospects Paul Ellis of Conway, Florida, and Jason Mayes of Hershey, PA as the only offensive recruits to commit to the team so far. The Longhorns have a wealth of talent at the position, but will be graduating three of their seven wide receivers at the end of the season. Unfortunately for the team's newest recruits, three of the remaining four players are freshmen, which does not body well for chances at early playing time. Still, Ellis and Mayes are both talented prospects, and will certainly find themselves near the top of the pecking order in their later years. Defensively, the Longhorns landed seven commitments this week. At defensive end, four-star prospect Chris Goolsby of Highland Park, Texas has joined the team. Goolsby is ranked as the third best defensive end in this recruiting class, but with a wealth of young talent at the position, he will almost certainly redshirt in 2015 before finding his way into the starting lineup by year three or four. At linebacker, three-star prospects Lance Austin of Shenandoah, Louisiana and Blake Russell of University Park, TX have joined the Longhorns, but will likely spend the majority of their collegiate careers adding depth to the position near the bottom of the depth chart.

The biggest name to commit was five-star prospect Josh Harvey of Owasso, Oklahoma, who is ranked as the 2nd best recruit in the nation behind runningback Will Lamb, who commited to Georgia. Harvey's blend of speed, and talent in both man and zone coverage made him a coveted recruit for many teams, but the Longhorns beat out suitors like USC, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and South Carolina for his services. Texas is a young team at the position, so Owasso will probably start near the bottom of the depth chart and redshirt in his first year, but there's little doubt that he'll rise to the top rather quickly and become a key cog of the Longhorns defense. Finally, the team added three recruits at safety in four-star prospects Anthony Weeks of Niles, OH, Brad Lee of Convington, Tennessee, and three-star prospect Lamar Fuller of College Station, Texas. Freshmen Chris Fogle and Willie Singletary are the heirs apparent for the starting jobs that will be vacated at the end of this season by seniors Josh Turner and Sheroid Evans, but the depth behind them is nearly non-existant. Weeks and Lee will occupy the backup jobs, and will look to take over in three or four years, while Fuller will provide depth.

OKLAHOMA SOONERS (3-3, 2-3)
VS.
#20 TEXAS LONGHORNS (4-2, 2-2)


Week_8.png


When it comes to college football rivalries, it doesn't get much better than Texas vs. Oklahoma. Played annually in the crossroads of Dallas, Texas, orange and red pack the seats to witness sixty minutes of gridiron war. This year, fans were treated to yet another exciting installment in the Red River Rivalry, as the Longhorns came from behind to take down unranked Oklahoma in overtime behind an opportunistic defense, and an unstoppable rushing attack.

Despite trailing for the majority of the final three quarters, #20 Texas found a way to save their conference title hopes in the end. Senior QB David Ash continued to struggle with his accuracy, completing just 18 of 35 passes for 173 yards and one touchdown, but he didn't throw a single interception. Leading the receiving corps was tight end Raishaun Blanco, who had nine catches for 71 yards, while senior Miles Onyegbule caught five balls for 80 yards. Naturally, the majority of the offense's success came on the ground, where star runningback Joe Bergeron rushed for a season-high 183 yards and three touchdowns off 31 carries, averaging 5.9 yards per touch, while backup Jonathan Gray added 45 yards off nine carries. The Longhorns put up over 400 total offensive yards, and managed 31 points in five redzone trips, but did struggle with a 33% conversion percentage on 3rd downs. Fortunately, they converted all four of their 4th down attempts to keep some of those drives alive. As for the defense, Texas allowed 454 total offensive yards and tied their season-high by allowing 34 points, but they also recorded three crucial turnovers. Senior Tevin Jackson (OLB) led the charge with six tackles and two picks, including one interception in overtime that sealed Oklahoma's fate.

As for the Sooners, senior QB Blake Bell completed 61% of his 42 passes for 351 yards and four touchdowns, but also threw two costly interceptions that turned the tide of the game in the end. Bell also led the rushing effort with 64 yards off 15 carries. His go-to man through the air was junior Trey Metoyer, who had a team-high 12 catches for 151 yards. Junior tight end John Philip Hughes also had a big day with six receptions for 133 yards and two touchdowns, while senior Lacolton Bester caught six balls for 54 yards and a score. Oklahoma's defense recorded one sack and forced a fumble, but couldn't bottle up Texas' punishing ground game. With four losses on the season, the Sooners will look to right the ship next week when they play host to San Jose State (3-2, 1-1) before taking a bye week.

Next week, the Longhorns will look for their first three-game winning streak of the season when they travel west to take on Texas Tech (2-4, 0-4) in what is a must-win game if Texas hopes to remain in the Big XII title chase. Losers in four of their last five games, and all of them by double digits, the Red Raiders are winless inside the conference this season. The blame for that can be pinned on an underachieving offense than ranks 107th in points per game (21.5), 90th in total offense (366), and 115th with a turnover differential of -8.

Fun fact: Through the first seven games of the season, Texas' offensive line has allowed just eight sacks, ranking them 7th in the nation. A feat that is made even more impressive by the fact that the team has just one senior starting on the o-line.
 
Longhornsnews.png



ASHLEY, KINIRY HEADLINE WEEK NINE COMMITMENTS FOR LONGHORNS
After bringing in a host of commitments last week, Texas added four more in week nine, included two five-star prospects. First up is five-star prospect Travis Ashley, a middle linebacker out of Sweetwater, Tennessee who is ranked as the top linebacker in this recruiting class, and the #10 recruit overall. Ashley chose the Longhorns over SEC powerhouse schools Alabama and Georgia. With seniors Steve Edmond and Aaron Benson departing the team at the end of this season, Ashley will get a chance to come in as a true freshman and compete for the starting job alongside freshman Joey Whaley, who will be the only middle linebacker with any experience on the roster. The Longhorns also landed five-star athlete prospect Freddy Kiniry of Zachary, LA, who is ranked as the 12th best recruit in this class, and the top recruit coming out of Louisiana. Kiniry's skill set will most likely land him on the offensive side of the ball, either at runningback or wide receiver. And with three recruits already committed at wide receiver, runningback is the most likely destination. Texas also grabbed a commitment from four-star prospect Michael Harvey of Lakewood, Washington, who is now the third wide receiver to commit to the team this season. Four-star prospect Melvin Johnson of Colby, KS is also on board, and stands a good chance at competing for the second starting spot at defensive tackle as a true freshman next season.

VS.
TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS (2-4, 0-4)


GRAY SAVES THE DAY IN 31-17 ROAD WIN
JONATHAN GRAY RUSHED FOR 174 YARDS AND 2 TDS TO PROPEL TEXAS TO VICTORY​


Tied at 17 midway through the fourth quarter, the Longhorns seemed bound and determined to lose their third game of the season. But backup runningback Jonathan Gray would have none of that, scoring 14 unanswered points on the ground in the last seven minutes to put Texas permanently ahead in their crucial 31-17 victory over Texas Tech to stay in the conference title race. Senior runningback Joe Bergeron only carried the ball three times for 17 yards before leaving the game with a sprained ankle, an injury that coaches say will not keep him out of next week's action. But he did miss the remainder of this contest, and Gray did not disappoint in his relief role, rushing for 174 yards and two scores off 30 carries for an average of 5.8 yards per touch. David Ash was less impressive, completing 18 of 35 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns, but also throwing two interceptions that kept the Red Raiders in the game until the very end. Leading the effort in the receiving corps was senior Miles Onyegbule, who had five catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, the Longhorns recorded five sacks, forced three turnovers, and limited Texas Tech to just 76 rushing yards all day. Now 0-5 inside the conference, the Red Raiders will stay at home next week to host Memphis (3-4, 2-2) before diving back into their Big XII schedule with games against West Virginia, Oklahoma State, and Oklahoma to end the season. As for the Longhorns, they are now tied for the lead in the Big XII west after TCU and Baylor both lost in week nine. In their next game they will play host to the Oklahoma State Cowboys (4-3, 1-3), who average just 104 rushing yards per game and have a turnover differential of -9, but offset that with their 8th ranked passing attack and 14th ranked defense. The Cowboys opened their season with a 52-24 win over Kansas, but have not beat an opponent with a winning record since then.

OKLAHOMA ST. COWBOYS (4-3, 1-3)
VS.
#14 TEXAS LONGHORNS (6-2, 5-2)


TEXAS DOMINATES 2ND HALF TO WIN 4TH STRAIGHT
THE LONGHORNS ARE GETTING HOT AT THE RIGHT TIME AFTER YET ANOTHER WIN OVER A BIG XII FOE​


Over the past four weeks, Texas has been returning to their undefeated form of a year ago, dominating teams offensively and defensively in tremendous displays of talent. This week was no different as the Longhorns controlled the ball over nearly 39 minutes, racked up 471 total offensive yards, and limited the Cowboys to just 205 total offensive yards in a dominant 35-21 victory to give the team their fourth straight win. Tied up at 14 heading into halftime, the Longhorns exploded for 21 unanswered points in the second half to safely put the game away. David Ash continued his accuracy issues under center, completing just 17 of 40 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. His go-to man was unstoppable senior Miles Onyegbule, who had eight catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Joe Bergeron returned to action and dominated as usual, rushing for 148 yards and two scores off 24 carries for an average of 6.1 yards per touch. Backup runningback Jonathan Gray added 73 yards off 12 carries. Defensively, sophomore cornerback Bryson Echols recorded his first interception of the season, and returned it 34 yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys also turned David Ash's only pick of the day into a score. As a defensive unit, Texas allowed just nine first downs, and limited the Cowboys to 49 total rushing yards and just three successful conversions on eleven 3rd down attempts. Next up for the Longhorns is a battle to decide the first place team in the Big XII west as Texas travels to take on Baylor (5-3, 3-2), who are coming off a big 35-30 win over TCU last week. Baylor's defense as a whole allows over 420 yards per game to rank them 104th in the country, but their rush defense has proven to be stout, and their ground game has led the offense to an average of 31.1 points per game. Leading the charge are runningbacks Lache Seastrunk and Jeremy Hill, who have combined for nearly 1,200 yards and 13 touchdowns, while junior quarterback Zack Oliver has added 441 yards and four scores. Oliver has taken over for injured starter Bryce Petty, who has missed the majority of the season with a dislocated knee.

#14 TEXAS LONGHORNS (7-2, 5-2)
VS.
BAYLOR BEARS (5-4, 3-3)


Week_11.png


Heading into the home stretch of the 2014 season, there were three teams vying to clinch a spot in the Big XII conference championship game in the west: Texas, TCU, and Baylor. Two of those teams met today, and the match-up did not disappoint as the game went all the way to overtime, where Texas' fourth rushing touchdown of the day gave them a 37-30 victory over the unranked Bears, and extended their win streak to five while putting them in the driver's seat of the division with one conference game left to play.

David Ash had a decent day through the air, completing 18 of 33 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown, and scoring again on the ground in the win. His go-to man was third-year sophomore Cayleb Jones, who had five catches for 87 yards and a touchdown. But Texas' bread and butter for the last several seasons has been the ground game, and it held true again this week as the team racked up 169 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. Joe Bergeron (pictured above) carried the ball 24 times for 106 yards, and scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime, while backup runningback Jonathan Gray added 69 yards and two scores off just 11 carries. Defensively, Texas recorded four sacks and two crucial interceptions to play a big part in the close win on Saturday. The Longhorns are now the only team in the west with two or fewer losses in the conference, but will still need a victory over TCU (7-3, 5-3) in their season finale three weeks from now to clinch the division.

On the other side of the ball, Baylor played a great game against outstanding competition, but could not overcome their mistakes in the end. Junior quarterback Zack Oliver completed 14 of 32 passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns, but also had two costly interceptions. Oliver also had 39 rushing yards and another score. Speaking of the ground game, sophomore Jeremy Hill had 75 yards and a touchdown off 14 carries, and senior Lache Seastrunk carried the ball six times for 36 yards, and also had three catches for 50 yards and a score in the loss. Baylor's defense dominated Texas' o-line in pass rushing situations, recording an amazing seven sacks, but they also allowed 419 total offensive yards and five touchdowns. With their conference title hopes on life support, the Bears hit the road for the next two weeks to take on Oklahoma and Oklahoma State before wrapping up their regular season at home against Texas Tech. All three games are must-wins for the team, and they would need TCU to beat Texas in week fourteen to force a three-way tie at the top of the division.

Next week, the Longhorns return home for what should be an easy win as they play host to Marshall (3-5, 2-2), who have lost four of their last five games. The Thundering Herd rank near the bottom of the nation with an average of 23.5 points per game (94th), and their rush defense ranks a below-average 78th. In the hostile confines of DKR Stadium, there's little hope that Marshall can pull off a big upset.

#13 TEXAS LONGHORNS (8-2, 6-2)


LONGHORNS TRAMPLE THE THUNDERING HERD 34-14
TEXAS' SEEMINGLY UNSTOPPABLE GROUND GAME FLEXED IT'S MUSCLE AGAIN IN WEEK TWELVE​


In what can almost be called a warmup to their regular season finale against TCU, the 13th ranked Longhorns dominated Marshall in all aspects of the game on Saturday to increase their winning streak to six games. Senior quarterback David Ash completed 11 of 21 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown, and also made a sizable contribution on the ground, rushing for 68 yards and two scores off 15 carries. Speaking of the ground game, Joe Bergeron led the effort with 25 carries for 153 yards, but it was backup runningback Jonathan Gray who impressed the most, rushing for 153 yards and a touchdown off just 14 carries for a staggering average of 10.9 yards per carry. His yardage included an 80-yard TD run in the second quarter. Defensively, the Longhorns continued to impress, recording five sacks, two interceptions, and limiting the Thundering Herd to just 279 total offensive yards and fourteen points. Both of their interceptions came in the endzone, killing what seemed to be surefire scoring drives for the opposition. With aspirations of a ten-win season and back-to-back conference titles, Texas will take next week off before travelling north to face off against TCU (7-3, 5-3) in what will essentially be the unofficial Big XII west division championship game. If Baylor cannot win out, then the winner of TCU and Texas would win the division...but if the Bears finish the season with two conference wins, a TCU victory on Saturday would throw the division into a three-way tie.

TEXAS PUTS FINISHING TOUCHES ON IN-SEASON RECRUITING CLASS
With only a few weeks left in the regular season, the Longhorns brought their number of committed recruits to 16 on the year, giving the team the #1 recruiting class in the nation at this point in the year, and wrapping up their recruiting efforts until the spring. The gem of this latest round of commitments has to be four-star prospect DeMarcus Jackson, an offensive tackle out of Galena Park, Texas. The Longhorns are loaded with freshmen and sophomores at the position, but when Jackson does finally reach the starting lineup, he's sure to be a key component of Texas' continued success on the ground. The team also added four-star athlete prospect Kendall Allen of Monahans, TX. Allen translates best to a runningback or wide receiver, but both positions are a little crowded at the moment, so he may end up somewhere like tight end. Finally, three-star prospect Lorenzo Long (OLB) of DeLand, Florida joined the team, anfd will provided much-needed depth to the linebacker position.

BIG XII ALERT

Texas Tech (5-7, 2-7) upset Baylor (7-5, 5-4) 38-14 in their regular season finale. Baylor's loss guarantees that the winner of TCU vs. Texas will represent the west against #4 Clemson in the Big XII conference championship game.

Week_14.png


Texas watched their 21-0 lead to start the game turn into a 24-24 tie with less than four minutes to play in the fourth quarter, putting their chances at a second straight Big XII title game berth in serious jeopardy. But when they needed him the most, team leader Joe Bergeron was there, scoring from three yards out with just 22 seconds left to put the 7th ranked Longhorns permanently ahead as they edged out TCU 31-24 to win the west and set up another date with Clemson.

While the ground game was a key factor to Saturday's victory, David Ash certainly had a hand in it as well, completing 13 of 27 passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns. His go-to man was senior Miles Onyegbule, who had six catches for 107 yards and a score. But it was senior runningback Joe Bergeron (pictured above) who earned player of the game honors, rushing for 118 yards and two touchdowns off 22 carries for an average of 5.3 yards per touch. Backup runningback Jonathan Gray added another 48 yards off 12 carries. Defensively, the Longhorns recorded one sack and forced two crucial turnovers to turn the tide of the game early, and allow their team to jump out to a 21-0 lead that they rode to their 10th win of the season.

On the other side of the ball, the Horned Frogs had a chance to earn their first Big XII title game berth, and even managed to overcome a 21-point deficit, but simply could not overcome their in-state rivals in the end. Senior QB Matt Brown struggled to produce under center, completing just 11 of 24 passes for 76 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Brown also rushed for 84 yards off 14 carries. Speaking of the ground game, junior Aaron Green led the effort with 20 carries for 117 yards, and backup runningback B.J. Cantalon added 29 yards and a touchdown off eight carries. TCU managed to outgain the Longhorns on the ground, but their nearly non-existant passing game offset that in the end. TCU's defense only recorded one sack, did not force any turnovers, and allowed 341 total offensive yards and 31 points in five redzone trips.

Now the Longhorns will turn their attention to #3 Clemson (10-2, 7-2), whom they will meet in the Big XII championship game for the second straight season. Despite the fact that they both have two losses on the year, a national championship berth isn't completely out of the question for either team with some tough games remaining for the schools ahead of them in the rankings, so a conference title won't be the only thing on the line in Dallas.

Good stuff st.

Great recruiting class, and with a little help, who knows, you could find yourself in a BCS championship game! Either way with the recruiting classes you are bringing in you will be up there every year.
