Who thinks Texas actually deserved to lose?

Question

I mean they let the kick roll out of bounds. it wasnt even a terrible kick, Texas just chose not to grab it which is kind of cheap but thats the game....
and really with about 6 seconds left what are you doing running another play? They should have lost and if they did I wouldnt have been suprised. When you have no idea how much time is left on the most important drive of your season, how can you say Texas deserved it? All that mattters is that they actually did win though....

Answer 1

In the course of a game there are dozens of plays you wish your team could have had back, so while Texas performed in the end to get the win, it was all the plays before that set up the ending.



As for your question, the Nebraska kickoff was totally the fault of the Nebraska kicker. He's the dumba$s who kicked the ball out of bounds. That was a stupid, stupid play.



The McCoy play with 6 seconds was very close, and I was surprised that McCoy tried to run something. If you want to run something and try to get some yards, do it quick, then let the clock run and use your last timeout with 5 seconds left before calling on the kicker. They just took their time coming to the line and made it so close that a review and reversal had to save their season.



But you gotta hand it to the Texas kicker, that was not a gimme kick and he came up clutch. I've seen a lot of NFL kickers miss a kick like that. He came up big when he had to.

Answer 2

No, this loss falls solely on the hands of the Nebraska head coach. Why the hell would you run the ball and bank the whole game on a field goal? That must be the stupidest coach in my book because I don't think he realized that Texas has came from behind all season. Two stupid points weren't gonna be enough and it showed in the end.

Answer 3

Those were good calls. The horse-collar was pretty obvious. It was also obvious that there was a second left when the ball went out of bounds.



EDIT: @Chang- LOL. That was one of the best plays I've ever seen. Henne- Manningham. But I don't think that they ever took the time off the clock.

Answer 4

Nebraska picked McCoy off three times and held their running game to barely over 3 yards per carry. Any team who can't take advantage of THAT - doesn't deserve to win.

Answer 5

so, williams should of had that catch earlier in the 4th. also, texas got pinned at the one on the kick return after the field goal that put nebraska in the lead. nebraska had 9 sacks. 1 billion picks and good field position all night. how the hell did they not capitalize. good game though. whats done is done. plus, texas deserves it after last year. that defense though was good. too bad they had the horse colar, or they would have won. i was on my @ss the entire game!

Answer 6

Nebraska made to many mistakes to win. They had it but just blew it. It's not a matter of deserves. Nebraska just didn't have the offense to win. It was fun watching the Nebraska Defense make the over rated Texas offense look bad. If Bama's defense is that tough the bowl game will be sad for

Texas.

Answer 7

Ok Nebraska Played a better game but texas won the game.. its over. But as for the Heisman award Colt McCoy lost it tonight. he played terrible just like he did against oklahoma. he had 3 picks&choked at the end. he isn't heisman nor national champ material. he's the soul of there team. they only play good when he does. look at it. Mark Ingram is the heisman this year.

But no they didn't deserve to lose. GIVE them a chance at the championship... they deserved THAT.

Answer 8

Texas deserved the win, but it's what they call a "moral loss". Texas got dominated by a team they were supposed to beat easily. But it's still a victory, I guess.

Answer 9

Colt McCoy never scored a TD in the first half. He was clearly down on the 1 foot line. That

play should have been reversed. Bad call. The way Nebr defense was playing, they could have possibly held them to a FG. This and a couple of questionable pass interference calls, showed

me who the refs were pulling for.

Answer 10

NOOOOO!! I AM SO ON LOVE WIF TEXAS RIGHT NOW AFTER MII PRECIOUS FLORIDA GATORS

I WAS SO FREAKIN' PISSED WHEN ALABAMA BEAT MII GATORS



THAT'S WHY ALABAMA NEEDS TO GET THEIR AZZ WHOOPED!!!!!!!!!



♥FLORIDA GATOR FAN 4 LYFE♥



♥ TIM TEBOW, RILEY COOPER, JEFFERY DEMPS, EMMANUEL MOODY, AND BRANDON JAMES♥ (LOVE THEM)

Answer 11

If only Nebraska would have had at least a top 50 offense.

Answer 12

Yes they did.A team like that (Texas) should NOT deserve to be in the NC when there are 2 undefeated teams much better.

Answer 13

Kinda cheap? LMAO!!! I love all the whiners on here who always blame the refs when their team loses.

_________

I'd still like to know how Michigan got three seconds back against Penn St. in 2005. Whine, whine.

Answer 14

No becasue they only scored one td

Answer 15

I agree because they should have called time out instead of running that stupid play. McCoy waited to the last minute to throw the ball and they should have let the game end. I completely agree with you

Answer 16

Well they didn't deserve to win. That's okay though, Bama will pound them in the ground.

Answer 17

No because because Texas can go beat the f out bama.

Answer 18

are you serious?



are they supposed to pick the ball up and get to the 15 yard line instead? and they got the ball out of bounds in time.



UT got some breaks. but they won fair.

Answer 19

The team that wins never deserved to lose. They did what had to be done to beat their opponent.



Doesn't matter how you win, only that you do.

Answer 20

Don't mean to discredit Texas BUT THOSE WERE SOME BS CALLS IN THE END!!!

I think Nebraska got screwed

Answer 21

Yeah... that sucks for Nebraska and their fans.

Answer 22

Clearly the officials handed this game to Texas because the BCS wants to throw us off the scent.
