Texas 41 Missouri 7

Whew.

Tell me that didn't feel good. 

I got less and less worried about the game as the week went on last week, but if the Horns had started slow, had let the crowd stay in the game and Missouri gets a break or two, then you're looking at a dogfight.  Instead, the Horns came out, took care of business quickly and efficiently, and we could all breathe easy by the end of the first quarter.

Colt was 2008 Colt, as was Jordan Shipley, and when those two are on, the Longhorns are going to win the ballgame, especially with the defense that Will Muschamp has assembled.

But....things were going swimmingly last season, too, coming off a huge victory over Oklahoma and Missouri, and the Horns had to go on the road to a hostile location and things did not go well.  This week the Longhorns travel to Stillwater to play Oklahoma State, and while the Cowboys don't look quite as formidable as they did coming into the season, they're still a very dangerous squad, and the Horns will need to be on task to win the game.

We'll be back on Wednesday to take a look at that one, as well as USC/Oregon, Georgia/Florida and much more....
