Texas 34 Texas Tech 24



It wasn't always pretty, in fact some in the Longhorn nation are flat out disappointed, but a win is a win is a win, and plenty of teams would have been happy with a 10 point win on Saturday night, including USC.

But...Colt McCoy needs to be better.  I'm not sure we win that game in Lubbock.  But Colt knows that he has to be better...and he will be.

Of course, I know that my ATS record needs to be better, too, and that road back to glory begins on Wednesday, right here.

Two notes of interest from today's press conference:


  • LB Jared Norton will undergo shoulder surgery and is out for the year.  A very disappointing loss.  Norton will apply for a medical redshirt, and I can't imagine that he wouldn't get it.  The one silver lining is that the LB position was going to be an area of concern next season, and Norton's return will help steady that ship.
  • Tre Newton is now the starter at tailback.  While I'm not too concerned over who starts the game, rather I am concerned about who gets the majority of carries, it is a great story of personal achievement for a guy that was buried in the depth chart when camp started.  He's clearly our best runner at the moment, and does all the little things as well.
