FORT WORTH, Texas — Gary Patterson came in from the rain and cold, cracked open a can of Dr. Pepper and whispered something in the ear of his wife, Kelsey, that made both of them smile.
He was tired. And glad. Not just for the 28-21 double overtime victory against Baylor but for the luxury of being able to wake up on Saturday without having to put together another gameplan, without having to figure out out how the duct tape was going to stick this week for a team that started falling apart physically in the preseason and never got healthy.
