For the first time this season, I was able to see a Texas football game in its entirety. Let me say one thing without jinxing anything for USC - Texas is beatable.

From the ESPN highlights and stuff that’s written all over the place, my impression of Texas was that they are a machine that keeps rolling over opponents and such. They had beaten Ohio State which is traditionally a tough defense (not sure about it this year though), and Texas Tech which is traditionally known to put up a lot of points and yards.

And then Texas A&M was statistically the worst team in Division 1 against the pass. Perfect set up for Vince Young to respond to Reggie Bush’s Heisman-worthy numbers, right? Well, it looks like he took it for granted that he will have a field day.

Not so fast, Longhorns. The Aggies defense was brilliant in penetrating the O-line of Texas and getting to Young a lot. And on the other side of the ball, they were able to get McGee to do wonders for them and despite losing their running back early on in the game, they were able to stay close and even lead the #2 team in the nation.

I think the Aggies could not believe what they were seeing. In the fourth quarter, they were only one TD (+2 point conversion) away from evening the score! They made a few silly mistakes then, and lost the game.

Texas was truly bailed out by their special teams. The blocked punt for a TD was so critical! Texas A&M just needed some mistake-free minutes towards the end and they would have caused the biggest upset of the season.

In any case, what’s good to know that it is a myth that Texas is invincible.
