The Texas Longhorns are pathetic this season and are once again underperforming. The 8-3 Longhorns discontinued their annual Thanksgiving rivalry with Texas A&M when the Aggies left the Big 12 for the SEC this summer and replaced the Lone Star Showdown with an in-state matchup with TCU. Texas entered the game with four consecutive victories after two tough weeks in October against West Virginia and Oklahoma. Things were flying high in Austin and the team's winning ways put the team in position to receive a BCS berth or win the Big 12 Championship. That was before everything was thrown out the window with Thursday's devastating loss to the Horned Frogs at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The Longhorns were shutdown by the nationally-ranked TCU defense and upset 20-13 in the first Big 12 matchup between the former Southwest Conference foes. The Longhorns were tied down by four turnovers, including three by Quarterback David Ash in the first half (a fumble and two interceptions). The team faces a tough task in Manhattan in the regular season finale against Kansas State and, like the Dallas Cowboys, the culture around Texas Longhorn football needs to change.
