Texas-OU
October 11, 2008 in Football, NCAA, Sports by David
What an enjoyable game to watch. Living in Austin people have been talking about it for more than a week now. It was on the news, in the newspapers, and the topic of everyone’s discussion, and the game didn’t dissapoint. I also enjoyed the camera shot which showed the red and orange line right down the middle of the stadium, quite a sight to see.
I was thoroughly impressed with Oklahoma’s efficiency on offense, but then I think they got a little lazy. Their defense was also phenomenal. They were so quick it was like watching a group of little leaguers going after the post game snack. Colt McCoy was honestly lucky to get off as many passes as he did.
Being a passive UT fan I have to admire their persistance. They really did not play that great of a game, but they played well enough to hang around, and then when the opprtuntity came they struck. Oklahoma was the better team, but UT definately played the better game.
People can argue all day about who should have won, or how different it would have been if this or that happened, but the reality is that Texas beat their rival, the number one team in the country, and should be rewarded accordingly. I don’t neccessarily think that means a number one ranking, though all of the results for this weekend are not in yet, but they have to get at least a few votes, and a little consideration.
