The Writer Formerly Known As SMQ is enjoying this surprise run from the Longhorns, emailing me before the game to say that he's finding this version of the 'Horns hard to resist. And as he notes in his postgame wrap at Rivals, if Texas' defense can curtail Chase Daniel next week, they're instant Orange Bowl frontrunners.

Side note: The Austin transplant is also on the hunt for three tickets to Mizzou next Saturday night. If you can help me help him, shoot me an email.
