DALLAS (AP) – Player after player, coach after coach, the Texas Longhorns kept praising each other for the heart they showed in clawing back to make their loss to Oklahoma as close as it was.
Yep, that’s what it has come to just five games into this season.
By losing 28-20 to the No. 8 Sooners on Saturday, Texas has dropped consecutive games for the first time in three years.
Sure to slip from No. 21, the Longhorns are poised to be unranked for the first time since Oct. 15, 2000 – a span of 162 polls, nearly twice as long as the next-best run in the country and among the best of all-time. The thud is even louder considering less than nine months ago they played in the BCS national title game.
But coach Mack Brown isn’t ready to say this is a rebuilding year.
