2008 Texas Longhorns Football Team

The Texas Longhorns must destroy the Texas A&M Aggies to earn their shot at the BCS Championship.

Texas Longhorns: Overview
The Texas Longhorns 2008 football team has exceeded the expectations of every critic in college football. Fans with Texas Longhorns tickets believed that their team deserved a shot at the BCS National Championship thanks to a great offense and an underrated defense. The spread offense of head coach Mack Brown has produced massive numbers with QBs like Vince Young and Colt McCoy. The 4-3 defense of defensive coordinator Bill Muschamp is one of the top units in college football and gets after the passer like no other defense in Texas Longhorns history.

Texas Longhorns: 2008 Season
Over their first five games, the Texas Longhorns outscored their opponents by an astounding 246 to 57, and fans with Texas Longhorns tickets were thrilled by the total dominance of their football program. The first true test came against the hated Oklahoma Sooners in the always classic Red River Rivalry. QB Colt McCoy met fellow Heisman hopeful Sam Bradford, the QB for the Oklahoma Sooners, in a game that would hold the BCS in the balance. With a score of 45-35, the Texas Longhorns won the Red River Rivalry in convincing fashion and moved up to BCS No. 1.

Fans with Texas Longhorns tickets knew that their team could not rest on their laurels as many tough opponents were still ahead in the elite Big 12. Colt McCoy continued to add to his Heisman ballot as the Texas Longhorns blew out the ranked Mizzou Tigers. The deadly offensive machine of the Oklahoma State Cowboys pushed the Texas Longhorns to the limit, but they managed to escape with a 28-24 victory. Fans with Texas Longhorns tickets were rightly worried about a visit to Lubbock, Texas, to face the No. 5 Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The Texas Longhorns vs. the Texas Tech Red Raiders turned out to be possibly the best college football game of the season. A seesaw battle between two great offenses came down to a last-minute drive where WR Michael Crabtree broke into the end zone with only a few seconds remaining. The loss stung fans with Texas Longhorns tickets like a shot, but they soon cleared their heads and realized that there was plenty of football left to play. Two complete drubbings of Big 12 opponents had the Texas Longhorns in the swing of things once again.

Texas Longhorns v. Texas A&M Aggies:
A collective cheer rose up from Austin, Texas, as the Oklahoma Sooners destroyed the Texas Tech Red Raiders. With tiebreakers on their side, the Texas Longhorns moved up the BCS rankings to No. 2 in the nation. The No. 2 spot in the BCS has been the lucky number of the Texas Longhorns since that ranking took them to the BCS National Championship in the 2006 Rose Bowl. Before they can look ahead, the team and fans with Texas Longhorns tickets need to focus on a trap game against archrival Texas A&M Aggies.

Recent history has not been kind to the Texas Longhorns against the Texas A&M Aggies as the boys from College Station have upset the heavily favored ‘Horns two years running. With everything on the line for the Texas Longhorns, the Texas A&M Aggies would love nothing more than to derail that BCS National Title run. Fans with Texas Longhorns tickets also know that style points count and not only must their team win but they must absolutely destroy the Texas A&M Aggies to keep their No. 2 BCS ranking.

Texas Longhorns Big 12 Championship
If the Texas Longhorns can beat the Texas A&M Aggies convincingly and outlast the Oklahoma Sooners battle for points, then they will meet the Mizzou Tigers in a rematch, this time for the Big 12 Championship. A victory in this game will not only give the Texas Longhorns the ability to reign over the Big 12, but it will also cash in their BCS National Championship tickets. Fans will be out in droves to get their hands on Texas Longhorns tickets in hopes of giving support to their favorite team as they make the push for the biggest prize in the land.

Texas Longhorns: Colt McCoy
As quarterback of the Texas Longhorns, Colt McCoy needs a victory over the Texas A&M Aggies and in the Big 12 Championship to put the finishing touches on his Heisman campaign. The all-time leader in passing yards for the Texas Longhorns, Colt McCoy can also damage teams with his legs as one of the best scramblers in the NCAA. Fans with Texas Longhorns tickets love how Colt McCoy conducts the spread offense and utilizes his childhood best friend WR Jordan Shipley as his favorite target.

Texas Longhorns: Brian Orakpo
The best pass rusher and possibly the best defensive lineman in college football, DE Brian Orakpo is perhaps the unsung hero of the Texas Longhorns. His ability to get to the quarterback has been instrumental in throwing off the game plan of the many spread offenses of the Big 12. Fans with Texas Longhorns tickets recognized the importance of Brian Orakpo when an injury kept him from getting after Graham Harrell in the loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The combination of Brian Orakpo and coordinator Bill Muschamp puts fear into the NCAA.

Texas Longhorns: Mack Brown
Sure to be enshrined as a demigod alongside Vince Young in Austin one day, Mack Brown has been the mastermind behind the success of the 2008 Texas Longhorns football team. With another National Championship within reach, Mack Brown is ready to put a cherry on top of his legacy in Texas Longhorns history. With defensive coordinator Bill Muschamp anointed as his successor, fans with Texas Longhorns tickets are wondering when Mack Brown will hang it up.
