Well, Texas’ season is now in the tank–and it may have all started with Colt McCoy’s injury in the K-State game (and loss) as McCoy missed the bulk of that game and hasn’t been up to speed in this one. He has thrown 3 INTs in this game after throwing all of 4 during the rest of the season. In that last drive with less than a minute to play it was clear that Colt did not have the arm strength that he normally has.

And now the young man had to be taken off the field immobilized on a backboard, which something you never want to see. He was moving, or so it seemed, so hopefully everything will be ok.

Losing to K-State meant that Texas was out of the national title hunt, but at least they still had a shot at winning the Big XII and therefore getting a solid BCS bid. There is no shame in not repeating as National Champs, especially when losing a player like Vince Young. But, gee whiz, to go on to be unable to compete for the league championship is a disappointment.

Unless Oklahoma State beats OU tomorrow, Texas will be relegated to a second-tier bowl game.

c’est la vie.

And while it is clear that Texas was outplayed today–especially in terms of our D’s inability to stop A&M’s run, I will say that Texas got jobbed on the pass interference call that negated a TD and led to an INT on the next play and on the review of the pass over the middle for a third down conversion that was reviewed and called an incompletion despite the fact that is was clear on the replay that the receiver’s hands were under the ball.
