Vince Young wins again!
This was a GREAT game! The Titans pulled off a last-second, come-from-behind victory over the Cardinals.
Vince Young drove the Titans 99 yards and converted on 3 fourth downs to win the game with a 10 yard touchdown pass to Kenny Britt with no time left on the clock.
This win was reminiscent of his many last minute heroics as a Texas Longhorn with the most memorable being his win over Michigan in the Rose Bowl in 2005 and his win over USC in the National Championship Game in 2006. Vince Young was the offensive MVP in both games.
Vince’s NFL career is beginning to blossom. This is the 5th straight win since he returned to the starting line-up after Tennessee went 0-6 without him. It’s his 9th straight win as a starter. Overall, he’s 23-11. Not bad.
Keep it up Vince.

Colt McCoy rushes for a career high 175 yards.
Texas (#3) moves to 12-0 after a hard-fought victory over Texas A&M. Texas had a great game from Colt McCoy and A&M had a great game from their QB, Jerrod Johnson. But Texas had more big plays and won the turnover battle.
Next up is Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington, TX at Cowboys Stadium.

Would you ever have guessed that Nate Newton is Tre Newton’s father? Aside from the same last name, of course.
- Tre Newton, freshman running back for the Texas Longhorns.
Tre looks like an athlete. Nate looks like a football playing Santa Claus. I’m not saying Nate’s not great, because he is. He helped Emmitt Smith to become the all-time leading rusher, Troy Aikman to make the Hall of Fame, and the Dallas Cowboys to win 3 out of 4 straight Super Bowls (92, 93, & 95) with an NFC Championship Game appearance in between. Not bad for a fat guy.
- Nate Newton, former All-Pro Offensive Lineman for the Dallas Cowboys.
Nope, I don’t see the similarity.

From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram – Colt McCoy headlines Davey O’Brien finalists
McCoy, a senior, set an NCAA career record for victories by a starting quarterback during No. 3 Texas’ 51-20 triumph over Kansas on Saturday night in Austin. McCoy, 43-7 in four seasons as Texas’ starter, eclipsed the mark held by former Georgia quarterback David Greene (42).
The NCAA leader in completion percentage (72.96 pct.) this season, McCoy has thrown for 3,024 yards and 23 touchdowns while leading the Longhorns (11-0, 7-0 in Big 12) to a Big 12 South Division title and a berth in the Big 12 Championship Game, Dec. 5 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. McCoy ranks 10th nationally in pass efficiency, with a 152.33 rating, and is 12th in total offense (292.5 yards per game).
McCoy is an O’Brien finalist for the second consecutive year. He also was a runner-up for the 2008 Heisman Trophy.

TCU smoked Utah 55-28! They looked great!
I grew up in Fort Worth going to TCU games with my Dad (a Texas alum), mostly to watch Texas beat TCU back in the old Southwest Conference days.
In college, despite not going to TCU (I went to Texas Wesleyan), I lived a few blocks from Amon Carter Stadium where I could hear the TCU crowd on Saturdays if I opened my windows.
I’m very happy for TCU and the city of Fort Worth. With that said, Hook ‘em Horns!
