#5 TEXAS LONGHORNS (10-2, 7-2)
VS.
#3 CLEMSON TIGERS (10-2, 7-2)
Down 28-14 with one quarter left to play, Texas' chances of back-to-back conference titles looked slim. But the team would not be denied, scoring 21 unanswered points to end the game and stun the #3 Clemson Tigers 35-28...but that wasn't the only shocking news this week. #1 Georgia Tech, #2 Iowa, #3 Clemson, and #4 USC all felt the bitter sting of defeat in conference championship weekend, leaving the door wide open for the unsuspecting two-loss Texas Longhorns to sneak into a second straight BCS national championship game.
David Ash struggled mightily under center, completing just 9 of 20 passes for 86 yards, and throwing three interceptions in the redzone that killed what would've most certainly been scoring drives. But, as usual, the ground game bailed him out. Joe Bergeron (pictured above) led the effort with 156 yards and three touchdowns off 27 carries on his way to being named player of the game, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Backup runningback Jonathan Gray added 48 yards off 10 carries, and senior wide receiver John Harris scored on a three-yard WR sweep to complete the comeback and put the team ahead with two minutes left to play. Sitting at #5 on the depth chart, Harris was a surprising choice to get the ball in such a crucial moment after having recorded just one catch for nine yards in his entire collegiate career, but he'll be celebrated like a superstar now. Defensively, senior Tevin Jackson (OLB) led the effort with eight tackles and two interceptions, and returned one of those picks 34 yards for a touchdown to tie the game up at 28 late in the fourth quarter. Jackson has been an integral piece of the defense all year, racking up 68 tackles, five sacks, four picks, and two forced fumbles. As a unit, the Longhorns recorded one sack and three interceptions, doing just enough in the end to help their team get their biggest victory of the season.
On the other side of the ball, the Tigers have seen another amazing season end in bitter disappointment. Senior quarterback Cole Stoudt completed 15 of 30 passes for 224 yards and four touchdowns, but also threw three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. His go-to man was senior Sammy Watkins, who had five catches for 111 yards and a score. As for the ground game, senior D.J. Howard led the effort with 101 yards off 18 carries, but did not reach the endzone. Clemson's defense recorded three interceptions, and limited the Longhorns to four scores in seven redzone trips, but also allowed three successful fourth down conversions that kept drives alive, and couldn't stop the Longhorns from scoring 21 unanswered points in the final fifteen minutes.
Riding an eight-game winning streak, the Longhorns will now begin preparation for their second straight appearance in the BCS national championship game, where they will face off against unsuspecting #2 Louisville (12-1, 10-0), another benefactor of the upheaval at the top of the rankings.

BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
#2 LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (12-1, 10-0)
VS.
#1 TEXAS LONGHORNS (11-2, 8-2)
#2 LOUISVILLE CARDINALS (12-1, 10-0)
VS.
#1 TEXAS LONGHORNS (11-2, 8-2)
For the second straight year, Texas appeared in the BCS National Championship game...and for the second straight year, they exited the stadium on the losing side. Up against the cinderella Louisville Cardinals, the Longhorns committed three costly turnovers and allowed 476 yards as they lost a heated offensive shootout 38-31.
Spirits may be down in Austin, but Kentucky is in full celebration mode as Louisville brings home the first BCS national championship in school history. Naturally, no player was more crucial to the team's success than senior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who completed 14 of 23 passes for 317 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, and also led the team with 78 yards and another score off 19 carries on his way to being named player of the game. His go-to man was senior wide receiver Eli Rogers (pictured above), who had five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown, including a 61-yard TD pass late in the fourth quarter that broke a 31-31 tie. Michaelee Harris also had a productive day, catching four balls for 97 yards and a score. Brigewater led the rushing effort, but junior runningback Braylon Heard contributed as well, rushing for 32 yards and a pair of touchdowns off 10 carries, while backup Corvin Lamb added nine carries for 49 yards. Defensively, senior Kamal Hogan (FS) had the biggest contribution by recording three tackles and two game-changing interceptions, one of those in the endzone that killed a scoring drive for Texas.
As for the Longhorns, they were forced to swallow another bitter loss after putting together an eight-game winning streak to end the season and sneak into the title game. In his final collegiate game, David Ash wrapped up an unspectacular career by completing 13 of 23 passes for 160 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. In his three years of significant playing time, Ash completed 51% of his passes for 5,608 yards, 53 touchdowns, and 30 interceptions. Leading the receiving corps was senior Miles Onyegbule, who had four catches for 57 yards and a score. On the ground, senior runningback Joe Bergeron predictably led the team with 133 yards and a touchdown off 22 carries, averaging six yards per touch, while backup Jonathan Gray added 52 yards and a score off 10 carries. Bergeron will almost certainly go down as one of the most memorable backs in Texas history, racking up 3,694 yards and 36 rushing touchdowns for an average of six yards per carry in his three-year career. Texas' defense recorded four sacks and forced a fumble, but also allowed 476 yards of total offense in the loss.
Missing out on their second straight shot at being crowned the best team in college football, the Longhorns will now turn to the offseason, where they will graduate 16 players and look to fill the gaps left by anyone declaring for the NFL draft early.

APPLEWHITE SIGNS FIVE-YEAR EXTENSION AS TEXAS HEAD COACH
Although he's had his fair share of ups and down in his three-year tenure with the team, Texas head coach Major Applewhite has made tremendous strides in returning the Longhorns to perennial national powerhouses, and has been rewarded with a five-year contract extension. Since taking over for the retired Mack Brown in 2012, Applewhite has posted a 32-9 (23-6) record, including back-to-back conference titles, three straight bowl appearances, and back-to-back national title berths. And with another stellar recruiting class coming in this season, the sky is the limit for a team that promises to be one of the most talented rosters in college football for years to come.

DANIEL PRATT NAMED STARTER AT QUARTERBACK
Celebrated as one of the best recruits in Major Applewhite's first offseason as head coach, former athlete and third-year sophomore Daniel Pratt has been named the starting quarterback for the 2015 season. After a redshirt year, Pratt spent 2014 as the 3rd string option on the depth chart behind David Ash and Connor Brewer, but showed tremendous improvement in the spring to beat out Brewer for the starting job this year. In addition to showcasing his above average on-field awareness, and a nice blend of arm strength and accuracy, Pratt is also one of the faster players on the team, which will make him a dual threat nightmare for opposing defenses.
JONATHAN GRAY NAMED STARTER AT RUNNINGBACK
After rushing for over 1,000 yards and ten touchdowns as Joe Bergeron's backup last season, Jonathan Gray has been named the starter at runningback. Backup Daje Johnson will also see significant playing time as the team continues it's tradition of a dual-threat backfield. Johnson will also continue to handle the kick and punt return duties.
CAPPS, JINKENS, WHALEY LEAD NEW-LOOK LINEBACKER CORPS
All three of the team's starters at linebacker have graduated, ushering in a new era at the position. Third-year sophomore Joey Whaley will get the nod at middle linebacker, while sophomore Brandon Capps and junior Peter Jenkins will handle the starting duties at outside linebacker.
SECONDARY TO SEE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN 2015
Both Josh Turner and Sheroid Evans are gone at the safety positions, allowed third-year sophomores Chris Fogle and Willie Singletary to take over the starting spots early in their careers, and grow into a fearsome duo. At cornerback, Bryson Echols has leapfrogged Kendall Sanders as the #2 cornerback on the depth chart, due in large part to his tremendous on-field awareness.

2015 TEAM DEPTH CHART

45-35 Never Forget
If you take a close look at the depth chart, the first thing you're likely to notice is that I have just one starting senior, and that's at kicker. I have only six seniors graduating, so this is going to be a very small recruiting year for me.
