Longhorns thanksgiving game




















There are probably Texas HS Football playoff games that will draw a bigger crowd this weekend than this. Biden has options after Supreme Court ruling. US says only 'a few weeks left' to save Iran nuclear deal.

The Aggies coach spoke with glee in his Monday press conference as he recalled some big names he watched in the rivalry game on past Turkey days. The Lions are on Thanksgiving. That was one of the college games that was always on. They meet a Michigan defense that has held 9 opponents to less than 20 points. The Wolverines have been smothering offenses, but we have heard that before.

Michigan can absolutely win this game — but until they beat the streak, you have to ride it. Texas Tech was shut out last week for the first time since , when they went up to Lincoln and were shut out by 2 Nebraska, The Red Raiders are bowl eligible for the first since that must be pretty nice , but they have now lost three of four, with that one win an out of nowhere win over Iowa State in Lubbock a couple of weeks ago.

Donovan Smith is the quarterback du jour in Lubbock these days, he has thrown for yards and 4 touchdowns with 2 interceptions in his last three starts. Baylor can clinch a spot in their second Big 12 title game in three years with two different head coaches! Quarterback Gerry Bohanon is doubtful after suffering a hamstring injury last week in their victory against Kansas State — freshman Blake Shapen replaced Bohanon and did an admirable job what a concept!

Including six losses in a row, with only one score game in that stretch? Oklahoma State is clearly the better team on paper here, but games are played on a field and in the heads of players and coaches. I am old enough to remember when Kansas State had a jinx over Texas athletics — but if there is one thing Tom Herman managed to do on the 40 Acres it was to end the Wizard jinx — the Horns finally have a winning record against KSU all-time with their victory last year in Manhattan.

All in all, the Horns have won four in a row in this series and the last time KSU won in Austin was ten years ago — The Wildcats started Big 12 play with an record and then won four in a row before dropping one to Baylor at home last weekend. The main casualty of that game was quarterback Skylar Thompson, who is doubtful for this one. Thompson is a major upgrade over the other KSU options. Howard can run a little bit as the Longhorns found out last season when he ran for 79 yards against them.

And of course the KSU offense orbits around Round Rock native Deuce Vaughn, who leads the team in rushing and receptions for the season.

In total Vaughn has 1, total yards and 17 touchdowns — no other Kansas State skill player has more than 2. Perhaps it is the eternal optimist inside of me, but I think they end this season with a win — because how depressing would it be to go into the off-season not having won since the first weekend of October?

The crowd made up almost completely of Texas students is loud and on their feet. The run by Sam Houston ends at the mark of the first half when Allen finds Ramey cutting along the baseline, hitting him for a reverse layup. Nevertheless, the Longhorns hit the under media timeout trailing the Bearkats by one, , with to go in the half. The edge doesn't last long, however, as layups by Ikpe and May help Sam Houston gain go up by a bucket, , when the under timeout is triggered at the mark of the first half.

The margin still stands when the under-8 timeout comes with on the clock, a stoppage in play triggered by a nasty foul with Ikpe clotheslining Allen while driving along the baseline toward the hoop. However, Sam Houston cuts the deficit to two, , on back-t0-back 3-pointers by Lampley and Ray before the under-4 timeout comes with remaining in the half.
