After losing QB Colt McCoy on their first offensive series the Texas Longhorns seemed doomed. After a tipped shovel pass turned into a pick-six for Alabama at the end of the first half resulting in a 24-6 deficit most thought the game was over without their senior QB and leader in the game. But Mack Brown’s gutsy Longhorns fought back cutting Alabama’s lead to just 24-21 in the final 6 minutes of the 4th quarter as Texas fell to Alabama by a final score of 37-21 in the BCS National Championship Game.

The Texas Longhorns lost Colt McCoy early in the game but have fought back from a 24-6 halftime deficit to cut Alabama’s lead to just 24-21 in the BCS National Championship Bowl. With 6:14 remaining, Mark Ingram is back in the game and the Crimson Tide have the ball looking to put this game away.

The Texas Longhorns had to feel good about their QB play coming into the BCS Championship Game as Colt McCoy entered the game with more wins than any other QB in the history of college football. However shortly after intercepting a pass on Alabama’s fake punt McCoy was hit in the right shoulder and removed himself from the game. While Texas has since kicked two field goals to take a 6-0 lead, McCoy is now headed to the x-ray room and may not return in the biggest game of his life.

The Big 12 conference season opens with A&M facing the underachieving yet athletic Georgia Bulldogs.  The defensive minded Nebraska Cornhuskers will face the Pac 10’s Arizona Wildcats on December 30th.  The disappointing Oklahoma Sooners will face Toby Gerhart and the Stanford Cardinal, Mizzou will take on the triple option offense of Navy and Iowa State will battle Minnesota on New Years Eve.  January 2nd will feature Oklahoma State battling Ole Miss and Texas Tech against Michigan State.  The conference’s final game is the biggest of the season as the Texas Longhorns face Alabama for all the marbles.  The BCS National Championship Game will be played on January 7th at 8:00.

The Texas Longhorns escaped by the skin of their Horns 13-12 over a gritty Nebraska team in Saturday’s Big 12 Championship Game.  Texas kicked a 46 yard field goal on the last play of the game sending them to the BCS National Championship bowl game.  Colt McCoy didn’t have his best game as he was harassed throughout by stud DT Ndumakong Suh who had 4½ sacks on the night.  However, McCoy and the Longhorns managed to gut out the victory resulting in millions of articles of Texas Longhorns clothing & apparel will be sold leading up to the big game.  The loss sends Nebraska to the Holiday Bowl where they will face Arizona.  Texas will face #1 Alabama for the National Championship in Pasadena.

The #3 Texas Longhorns won a thrilling contest over rival Texas A&M.  In the victory Colt McCoy may have wrapped up the Heisman Trophy as he threw for 304 yards and 4 scores and rushed for 175 yards and another score.  Nebraska defeated Colorado in a meaningless game which served as a tune up for the Big 12 Championship game.  The #22 Cornhuskers will need a big game from one of the best players in the country to upset the Longhorns.  DT Ndamukong Suh will no doubt cause havoc but it won’t be enough to stop Texas from playing in the BCS National Championship game.  Oklahoma State failed to show up in the Bedlam Series.  With the 27-0 loss the Cowboys dropped from #12 to #20.
