Come and Take It


The Horns win another close one against Oklahoma State. A pessimist might look at the game and see Texas had some things exposed, but I choose to look at it as Texas can beat a Top 10 team when they aren't perfect, which they certainly weren't on Saturday.

But the Horns are still #1 in the BCS by a wide margin, and if you are #1 you don't have to play perfect games to stay that way.

Kudos to Oklahoma State, by the way. I gave them very little credit in this space last week, and they proved me wrong (yes, it does happen). I can easily see them running the table the rest of the way. They have to go to Lubbock, but get Oklahoma at home and two very winnable games against Iowa State and Colorado mixed in.

They deserved the standing ovation that the DKR crowd gave them on Saturday.

Next up for the Horns are the Texas Tech Red Raiders, and we all know how tough of a game that will be. ESPN's College Football Gameday will be making its first ever trip to Lubbock as the #1 Horns and the #7 Red Raiders clash. This game will likely decide the Big 12 South, and the winner takes an inside lane to the national championship game as well.

But make no mistake, the Horns will be ready. This isn't 1998 or even 2002 where the Red Raiders might catch the Horns napping.

Who wants some?
