More on the Texas/Oklahoma State game: from the AP:
Young rushed for a career-high 267 yards and passed for 239 yards, setting a school record for total offense in a game, as No. 2 Texas scorched Oklahoma State in the second half for a third straight season in a 47-28 win Saturday night.[…]
Only a week after Missouri’s Brad Smith became the first player in Division I-A history to have at least 230 yards rushing and passing in one game, Young matched the feat and became the seventh player in NCAA history to throw and run for at least 200 yards in a game.
He also accounted for four touchdowns, two on the ground and two through the air.
One would think that this performance would have to have Young firmly in the race for the Heisman.
And, amazing (and what’s up with the first halves of these games?):
In the past three meetings with Oklahoma State, the Longhorns have outscored the Cowboys 118-0 in the second half and trailed at halftime in each game.Texas came back from a 35-7 deficit last season, scoring 42 unanswered points in the second half of a 56-35 win in Austin. A year earlier, the Cowboys led 16-14 in Stillwater before the Longhorns reeled off 41 consecutive points.
The Texas team bus didn’t show up until halftime. OTOH, how about that squeaker between Tennessee and South Carolina. Go C0cks!
