Texas Owns Nebraska

What a win! Texas bids Nebraska adieu to the Big 10 with a 9-1 record against them since the inception of the Big 12, a 4-0 record in Lincoln, 3-0 in Austin, and a clear record of ownership over the Nebraska football program.

We will record our glorious recap tomorrow night, so look for that on Tuesday morning.

This blog will also publish its running diary from yesterday's game later today.

So proud of Garrett Gilbert for stepping up early in the game (and with his legs, no less!) when it was absolutely needed, and glad that Greg Davis was able to innovate with a solid gameplan. It's unfortunate that so many years Mack and Davis have needed an OU loss to "find" their offense and come up with the right scheme, but it's also a credit to them both that they always respond to adversity, and it won't be a surprise to anyone if Texas runs the table from here on out.

Burnt Orange Radio still desperately wants to see an eventual shift back to the zone-read, spread-option attack with a more mobile QB than Gilbert, but after yesterday we are much more optimistic for the future of the Gilbert era since he showed he is able and willing to use his legs (Chip Brown even tweeted that he was Garrett "Crazy Legs" Gilbert). The Davis offense is always more dangerous when the QB can run. We need to be recruiting Cam Newtons and Darron Thomases, but Gilbert is tough and solid and we can win with him if he keeps getting better.

Retroactive running diary (Simmons-style) from the game will be up here later.
