that 550 rushing yards BYU ran for on Texas is the most anybody has ever run for on Texas in the history of college football The loss snapped the Longhorns' streak of 13 straight wins against nonconference opponents I love the headlines ESPN: BYU tramples No. 15 Texas USA Today: BYU clobbers No. 16 Texas NBC: BYU sends Longhorns home in search of defense BurntOrangeNation.com: Texas suffers humiliating 40-21 loss to BYU more from BurntOrangeNation.com: the "defense utterly and totally collapsed in the thin air of Provo." it is "looking like another disastrous season" "the prognosis for the rest of the season is absolutely abysmal right now, as all the close games and even Ole Miss next week begin to look like surefire losses." "For a program that has suffered numerous lows over the last three seasons, this performance against BYU ranks among the worst -- this team was supposed to have turned the corner. It's now clear that it has not. What happens now?"
It was an out of conference loss. Bad, but not a fate sealer. I'd think if he lost to Ole Miss he'd need to win the conference to be there next year.
I have a theory about this. It seems to me the more LSU curb stomps their opponent and generally the more optimistic the Tigers become, the funnier I get. When I'm on a roll we all win.
