Malcolm Williams always knew his time would come. The 6-foot-3-inch wide receiver had made his case a year ago, grabbing four catches for 182 yards and two touchdowns in place of the injured Quan Cosby against Texas Tech. He could make every play, every catch. Except for the easy ones.
Quarterbacks Texas: Colt McCoy did everything he could to make sure his team did not fall again on the road during Halloween weekend. McCoy threw his 100th career touchdown pass and was 16-for-21 for 171 yards. He also spent most of the fourth quarter on the sidelines for the second-straight week and did not throw an interception in the game for the first time this season.
Special Teams: (A+) Touchdowns, touchdowns, touchdowns. On special teams, six of them. And while the kickoff coverage still lacks, they have yet to give up anything more than field posiation.
Earl Thomas didn’t care so much that he wasn’t playing safety as he headed for the end zone with the ball in his hands Saturday night. The only thing Thomas was thinking about as the play unfolded was that he’d seen it before and missed it. He wouldn’t make that mistake again.

Former standout Texas quarterback inducted into Longhorn Hall of Honor
Former Texas quarterback James Brown remembers walking in L. Theo Bellmont Hall as a freshman and seeing pictures of members of the Longhorn Hall of Honor on the wall. Bobby Layne, Tommy Nobis, Earl Campbell.
Recovering from reconstructive knee surgery is not a lot of fun. First, I had to fight off the loopyness of being knocked out for several hours while a highly skilled surgeon sliced me open to clean out my shredded ACL and a large portion of my shattered meniscus cartilage and replace my torn ACL with a bundle of muscle fibers from my hamstring.
Texas’ slender and quick defensive backs may have been the ones to come down with the four interceptions in the Longhorns’ 41-14 rout of Oklahoma State, but all four gave credit to the big boys up front for creating havoc in the OSU backfield.
The Longhorns capped off their fall season with a fourth-place finish at the Challenge at Onion Creek in Austin Tuesday afternoon. The two-day tournament featured a field of 21 teams, the largest the Longhorns had faced all season.
Kindle's idea epitomizes Texas' play, becomes team's new motivational slogan
It’s a good thing Texas’ newest slogan dangles freely from his neck because Brown is running out of room on his arms. The veteran coach has bought in to the motivational sayings that dot the UT training facilities as much as his players, sporting wrist bands that say, “We’re Texas” and “All In,” this season’s mottos.
Mike Leach’s offense at Texas Tech might be known for its aerial attack, but that could change. This season the Red Raiders are gaining a reputation for their quarterback instability. Junior Taylor Potts started the year as the top man in Leach’s system, but injuries and inconsistency limit his playing time.
The Longhorns stand tied for fourth at the end of the first day of the Challenge at Onion Creek in Austin. The three-round, 54-hole tournament was suspended amidst the last few holes of the second round due to darkness.
PHILADELPHIA — A.J. Burnett started walking briskly off the mound before manager Joe Girardi even got there. The erratic right-hander already was finished — and he knew it.
Longhorns score on offense, defense to win in Stillwater against overmatched 'Pokes'
STILLWATER, Okla. — The Texas Longhorns entered Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday night with a question looming over their heads. Four hours later, they left for Austin with a resounding answer.
STILLWATER, Okla. — It was almost the same scenario as last year for Texas: the last hurdle of the season against a highly ranked team on the road, at night, in a hostile environment. It was a chance to make a statement to America.
On the eve of All Hallow's Eve, No. 2 Texas (18-0, 13-0 Big 12) spooked No. 8 Nebraska (16-6, 9-4) by sweeping them in three straight sets and sending them back to Lincoln, Neb., without any treats.
