Texas Longhorns Team Preview

The Texas Longhorns shouldn't miss much with the loss of Colt McCoy. Now a sophomore, Garrett Gilbert performed admirably in the place of McCoy during last seasons championship game and is ready to take over as the teams new starting quarterback. The Longhorns return six players on offense and 6 on defense, but they're loaded everywhere on the field. They have running back Tre' Newton, wide reciever Malcolm Williams and quarterback Garrett Gilbert to lead the offense. Defensive end Sam Ancho and linebacker Keenan Robinson will anchor the defense. Even though they're one year removed from playing in the BCS Championship, the Longhorns might get there again very soon.

Texas Recruit Has High Hopes

An upcoming Texas freshman, Taylor Bible, has high confidence that the Texas Longhorns will win the next four BCS titles and all four Red River Rivalry games vs. Oklahoma. This may be due to the fact Bible has already been given the nod to play right away as a freshman. We'll have to wait and see if Taylor Bible will come through for us. At 6'3 and 300 pounds, this defensive lineman has a definite chance to make a difference with the Texas Longhorns.

Texas vs. Alabama in the BCS Championship

The 2009-10 College Bowl season came to an end yesterday when the BCS National Championship game came to the Rose Bowl. The Alabama Crimson Tide battled it out with the Texas Longhorns coming away with a 37-21 win.

Head Coach Nick Saben walked away from that game with a national championship under his belt only three years after he began, as well as the promise of a statue in his honor at the Bryant-Denny Stadium in Alabama.

His statue will join just four previous coaches to take home a national championship for Alabama. Saben had a lot of work on his hands when he joined the Crimson Tide in 2007, after leaving the Miami Dolphins for a $32 million deal with Alabama. I'd say his hard work has paid off.
