Earlier this week the Texas Longhorns stomped on the Texas A&M football team. The Longhorn offense played really well and their quarter back Colt McCoy played very well. The Longhorns put a nice beating against their bitter rivals, beating them 49-9.
Defensively, the Longhorns held the Aggies to 245 total yards and minus 24 rushing yards. The Texas defensive also sacked quarterbacks Jerrod Johnson and Stephen McGee a total of six times. McGee passed for a total of 207 yards, but that wasn't enough for the Aggies, at the end of the first half only lead them to a field goal.
The question that everyone is asking now is, was that win enough to keep Texas in the run for the Bowl Championship game. The Longhorns coach Mack Brown thinks so, "I felt they made the statement they needed to make." McCoy played really well in the game, running for two touchdowns and passing for an extra two more touchdowns. McCoy threw for 311 yards and completed 23 of 28 passes. Along with that he ran for 49 yards and it was the first time that McCoy beat the Texas A&M Aggies in three tries. Colt also set a Longhorns season record with 3,594 passing yards. The Longhorns are currently ranked number 2 in the BCS standings and are waiting to see if they still have a shot at the national title.
