ATHENS, GA – And so it’s come to this for Texas, that senior leader Michael Taaffe is complimenting rival Texas A&M’s resolve after the Aggies’ comeback victory against South Carolina and declaring his own team must look in the mirror and take stock of itself after another humbling loss.
“Clearly, A&M showed what type of team they were,” Taaffe said, by rallying to overcome a 27-point halftime deficit against South Carolina.
The Longhorns reminded us who they are, too. They're a group that doesn’t play well on the road, a team that hasn’t played up to its payroll or the hype.
And so it’s come to this, that even if Texas beats Arkansas and the Aggies these next two weeks, it still wouldn’t be guaranteed a playoff bid.
Texas went into the fourth quarter against No. 5 Georgia trailing by one score. By the end of the quarter, the final score of 35-10 looked like a rout.
