Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answered questions about the league during a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:
Could things get real ugly for Texas in the coming weeks? If the Horns don't beat USC, they drop to 1-2 with games against TCU, Kansas State and Oklahoma coming up.
Carlton: In a word, yes. Of course, a lot depends on your definition of ugly. To be fair, Texas hasn't exactly been Bradley Cooper for the better part of this decade. And even in the preseason, a 3-3 Texas record after Oklahoma seemed like a distinct possibility.
