The killer instinct is the one consistent piece that's been missing since this whole doldrum period started for UT.  Through the end of the Mack Brown era, through Strong and Herman and now Sark, they've alternated struggles with needing better talent, bad coaching, too many injuries, etc.  Even when those things are on decent footing, the Longhorns teams of the aughts knew how to step on the throats of weaker teams, and not fold mentally when a team was of similar caliber and came looking for a fight. 

Texas knows how to step on throats.  But they have to relearn the joys of consistently keeping their boots there until the clock hits zero.

I was at the F1 race and missed about half of the game.

The half I saw, looked like crap.  

At least this coming weekend is a bye so there is no potential for disappointment.

Ewers was off target a fair bit....probably the difference right there.

Defense could stand to sharpen up on the tackling in that one too.  

There were something like 15-16 penalties on UT....zero for oSu.  Somehow I doubt that was the case in reality.

I had to watch UGA dismantle another top quality SEC foe instead of Texas.

Can't play better defense than not allowing any points.

A lot of the penalties were called on the o-line for mostly pre-snap violations.
The 15 did not seem excessive as I was watching the game.
But the zero penalties for oSu is hard to justify in a game in which offensive holding can be called on every play.
I doubt that the Big 12 office has instructed the officials to screw OU and Texas, any more than the officials for the RRS are annually instructed to favor Texas.
But human emotions cannot be completely ignored, and there are surely officials who are angry at OU and Texas for leaving the conference.

15-0 does seem ... unbalanced.

What game was that, Fearless? The Big 12 CCG?

If so, Sooner fans thank the Huskers for playing so sloppily in that game. ;)

I wish my QB were not so cross-eyed so I could gripe about penalties more. 9 of them were pre-snap, so it's hard to get too jazzed about those. There was 1 crowd-sourced DPI where the flag didn't come until the crowd got upset. Quinn's 30 yard scramble was negated by a backside pancake block by Christian Jones being seen as "holding" by someone who adjudged oSu to not have held at all during the course of the contest. About what I've come to expect from a Big 12 that, I guess, is just trying their best?

Still, 19 for 49 passing.

TEXAS A&M 9 - NEBRASKA 6
Nov. 20, 2010 - 7:08 p.m. Central
Kyle Field | College Station, TX | ABC-TV


Texas A&M managed one more field goal than penalty-plagued Nebraska could muster as the Huskers lost 9-6 in a defensive battle marked by several controversial moments.
After a 3-3 first half and a scoreless third quarter, Randy Bullock gave the Aggies their first lead with a 28-yard field goal with 14:33 left in the game. Alex Henery tied the score at 6-6 with a 29-yard boot with 8:31 remaining.
However, the Aggies answered with a 19-yard Bullock field goal with 3:02 left. Texas A&M’s winning drive was extended by a roughing-the-passer penalty on Husker safety Courtney Osborne on third-and-11. Instead of 4th-and-11 at the NU 49, A&M had a 1st-and-10 at the NU 34. Cyrus Gray covered 32 yards on five consecutive runs for the Aggies to set up the winning field goal.

Osborne’s penalty was the 15th of a school-record 16 called against the Huskers.
