    Lack of game time means you need more time to Gel with your offense and least practice you have had. And having to do that against a strong Bama side in the BCS games is quite literally the baptism of fire when it comes to pressure. He found his rhythm now and is gelling with his Offense. Awesome fight by the Kid.

    You know I picked Bama to win in what I thought would be a close game. But I never expected a game like this. McCoy getting injured and Bama to go on and dominate eventually and then the Backup Gilbert for the horns to find his form and get the Texas back in this. Feel bad for Texas honorable fight back in what many said would be a dominant performance by Bama ( cough splutter eagle eye cough splutter ) :D:D:D

    Plenty of chance next year to lose a game for him as he returns as a senior. He most likely wont make the Pros either.

    Fair play to 'Bama they were the better team on the night but I take a lot of heart from the game. With 3 mins to go we were only down by 3 which was amazing considering McCoy went out so early. Gilbert came in and showed that he has enough talent to be the caliber of QB needed to suceed. He was in an awful spot coming in for McCoy and in the second half really got himself a lot more comfortable on the big stage. We will lose Shipley but the rest of the recieving corp should still be around next year and we have some highly touted o-line prospects coming in this year.

    Shipley did his draft stock no harm last night and whoever takes him will get a great slot reciever/special teamer. Sergio Kindle put himself considerably further up draft charts as a result of last nights 3 sack performance and the sucess of Brian Orakpo with the skins this year. All in I gotta say its not a bad day to be a 'Horns fan. We didnt win the game but with all that happened it gives a lot of confidence for the next two or three years. And we couldnt say that after we beat SC four years ago
