SMITHERMAN, BULLDOGS TOO MUCH FOR TEXAS

Nicholas Smitherman brought his Georgia Bulldogs to Austin and beat the Longhorns quite easily, 43-32. Everything was working for the Georgia offense on the ground and in the air.

Anthony Patchen ran back his 7th kick of the season leaving him one short to tie the season record and to tie the all time record.

The Longhorns stay at home to play PAC team UCLA tonight.

PATCHEN MAKES THE RECORD BOOK

Anthony Patchen ran one back in a losing effort to Arizona 15-14 in Tucson last night to tie Richard Riley for the season at 8 and for the all time record at 13. This guy has been fantastic, he can make you miss, if you do get him, he can shake you off, and he can run you over. He has been really fun to watch this season. It has to make the opponent wonder if they want to kick it to him. I wouldn't want to. Hopefully, Patchen can get one tonight against Oklahoma and have the records all to himself.

In the Arizona game, McCartney had problems holding on to the football, fumbling 3 times. Byron Gribble ran well 9/68 yards, and Patchen carried 13 times for 47 yards. On the other side of the football, Herbert McKnight led with 9 tackles. We have come to realize just how good McKnight is. He may be rated low but if you watch, he is right there in almost every play. James Strunk got 2 sacks.

The Longhorns finish out the season tonight hosting those dust bowl dwellers from the North. The Longhorns are 4-11 and have been out of contention for a while. But you can assure yourself, they will be ready and treating this as their bowl game.

Texas will also be sending off several seniors so it will be the last time to see some of the Texas players in a Texas uniform. RDE Henderson is one among others.

2023 ENDS ON A HIGH NOTE

Carroll McCartney has finally got 'er done.......
What's that you say?
A Conference Title?.........no.
A bowl game?..........not that either.
A winning record?.......not quite.
A .500 record?........well, you are getting close, but i'll just tell you.

Carroll McCartney has led the Longhorns to a victory over the Sooners!! It is the 1st time Texas has beaten Oklahoma in this A,D. tenure. The 37-34 win put Texas at 5-11. That is another best. It is nice to get the monkey off our backs. It was a big game for the Sooners as well so it was nice to win one that had some bowl implications.

The bad news is Anthony Patchen didn't get the season record in kickoff returns. Also the Longhorns lose 12 players to graduation.

It has been a positive season all in all here in Austin. We don't know what we will look like next season but we have some players that still will be here. We just need to get them while we can and see what happens.
