The Texas Longhorns have had a rough time this season. It seems like every other week the status of their program flips from "totally dead" to "LONGHORNS BACK" back to "totally dead". That isn't their fault, the Longhorns have long been in the media spotlight due to their track record of success. However, for us, this creates a situation that Tech fans aren't used to. For the first time this season, I really feel like this game hinges less on the way we respond to adversity and more on how Texas responds to adversity. Despite the loss at West Virginia, the back half of this season has really mellowed out.
