Justin Tucker Q&A
University of Texas kicker Justin Tucker delivered in the clutch, knocking in a 40-yard game-winning field goal to defeat archrival Texas A&M in what likely marks the last time the two teams will square off in this tradition-rich series with the Aggies leaving the Big 12 Conference.

This time around it’s redshirt freshman wideout Chris Jones that has decided to leave the program. Buried on the depth chart beneath Jaxon Shipley, Mike Davis and Darius White, Jones appears to have a desire to move to a school closer to his roots in the small East Texas town of Daingerfield.

Should Texas “force” a more balanced offense in coming weeks?
The 2011 Texas Longhorns football team runs the ball well, you could even say with dominance. The efforts of true freshmen Joe Bergeron and Malcolm Brown, combined with the explosive speed of D.J. Monroe and the veteran smarts and elusivness of Fozzy Whittaker have made the running back unit for Texas one to be reckoned with.
Regardless, Mack Brown mentioned in his morning press...

Texas considering former Texas Tech QB Karam?
After a marginally successful 7-5 regular season finish for the Texas Longhorns in 2011, it’s easy to see the positives going forward, but weaknesses are equally as glaring.
Sure, injuries to Fozzy Whittaker and Malcolm Brown derailed what could have easily been a 9-3 regular season, but the lack of consistent production from Texas quarterbacks was believed by many to...

Looking Ahead to 2012 (Offense)
The brick-by-brick approach that Texas used this season paid off to a certain extent. The Longhorns posted a 7-5 record, an improvement from last year’s 5-7 abomination but a mark that proves that Mack Brown and Co. have a ways to go before Texas becomes a conference or national title contender again. But with another top-notch recruiting class coming in - one that’s...
