http://www.bevoball.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/outex.jpgThe Texas Longhorns and their fans knew this game would show just how much progress the team has really made, after playing a relatively easy schedule in its first four games.  After the game we feel that we can speak on their behalf by saying “there is still work to do.”  The day belonged to the Oklahoma Sooners who showed up in Dallas and pushed around a young Texas team, almost from the first snap of the game.   Sooner quarterback and Heisman trophy candidate Landry Jones completed 31 passes for 367 yards and 3 touchdowns with no turnovers.  The 55-17 score certainly tells the story of how the game went for Texas, but the Longhorns did do a bit of this to themselves with turnovers.  Texas turned the ball over five times in a rivalry game that rarely affords a single mistake, let alone five.  Both Case McCoy and David Ash split time at the quarterback position as expected, combining for a total of 223 yards and one touchdown (Ash).  In short, the match-up against the Sooners was just too much for the youth and inexperience of a Texas team that starts primarily freshmen and sophmores.

The bright spot in the game was a 100 yard kickoff return by Fozzy Whitaker, which tied the school record set by Johnny Lam Jones in 1978.  Fozzy averaged around 7 yards per carry but the rushing leader was Malcolm Brown who carried the ball seven times for 54 yards with a 3.2 ypc average.  Even giving up 55 points, the Texas defense played decent considering the challenge at hand.

With the Oklahoma win, the Sooners moved ahead of the Longhorns in all-time winning percentage  (in third place) with only Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State ahead of them.  The Longhorns need to regroup and get ready for a top 10 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys team that makes the trip to Austin and Darrell K. Royal stadium next week.  The Oklahoma loss definitely stings but with a win against Oklahoma State, Texas has a chance to show the nation how resilient the team really is.
