The Word on the Longhorns |

You have to wonder how the national championship would have turned out had Colt McCoy not been injured early. While Texas did not win, it did give backup QB Garrett Gilbert some tremendous experience...
Phil Steele
Texas should win the Big 12, assuming Garrett Gilbert only has one bad day, and it doesn't fall on October 2. Aaron Williams could become the Big 12's defensive player of the year if he gets help...
Austin American-Statesman
If Garrett Gilbert can play up to his prep hype and the promise he showed in the BCS Championship, and if there can be a bit more of a running game to help him out, Texas will be on the short list of title...
