The eyes of Texas are tearful
Take away two bad play calls by Mack Brown & his staff and Texas 
is the National Champion football team.
Bad call #1 – the shovel pass at the end of the 1st quarter. Not only was this (obviously) something that the freshman QB wasn’t adept at, but even if it hadn’t been intercepted it would have gained little and exhausted most of the time left on the clock. Either run out the clock and re-group, or take a chance going deep where a pick-off wouldn’t have much chance of being returned all the way.
Bad call #2 – Of course, Garrett Gilbert wouldn’t have been put in the position of attempting that shovel pass if the Longhorn brain trust hadn’t stupidly tried to use Colt McCoy of a QB line buck on the first series of downs!
The Texas team would have won in a walk if it wasn’t for their own inept coaching staff.
