Perched at the very end of a decade that was first kicked off by a Texas appearance in the National Championship game, we find ourselves closing out a decade in the VALERO ALAMO BOWL ® against a formidable Utah squad that has a fair case for disappointment in having to play a 5-loss Texas team. Having spent the ten years since Marcell Dareus atoning and offsetting our glorious run of good fortune throughout the 00s/aughts/millennial pubescence, Horns fans can only hope we are on the cusp of a fresh swing of the pendulum - a swing that maybe isn’t even looking BACK ™ but rather at something even better in front of us.
