Texas 16 Oklahoma 13

It was by no means a pretty performance, but a win over Oklahoma is still a win over Oklahoma, and no fan that left the Cotton Bowl after those five straight losses should overlook that fact.

The offense needs plenty of work, and it all starts with Colt McCoy.  His Heisman chances took a big ding yesterday, with some of the media blaming sickness again.  Fine, you don't feel well, but at some point, the excuses have to stop and the production has to be begin.

Outside of some big plays in the passing game in the first quarter, the defense was outstanding, and is really beginning to emerge as one of the best units in the country.

The Longhorns are 6-0, #3 in the BCS (a de facto #2 behind the SEC), and will head to Missouri and Oklahoma State the next two weeks with the chance to put a stranglehold on the Big 12 South crown.  We'll be back on Wednesday to look at that game, and of course all of the others.
