Texas' Loss to West Virginia All but Guarantees Longhorns Will Miss Bowl Game

Saturday was the kind of day that could make or break Texas’ 2015 season. At 4-5 with three games remaining, Charlie Strong’s Longhorns badly needed a victory for a realistic shot at postseason play.

Well, consider the season broken. An uninspired 38-20 loss at West Virginia dropped the Longhorns to 4-6, making a bowl bid all but impossible for Strong and the Horns.

Almost a year ago, Charlie Strong said finishing 5-7 would be a disaster: “That will never happen within this program again.” Now he’s 4-6.

In other words, it’s going to be a long winter in Austin.
