For those that are interested in this year's game, Ben played a little over 50% of the offensive plays for Texas in a 41-14 win. They get a really nice ring as part of the winning squad. Kind of a funny story, a fellow o-lineman who was the offensive lineman of the year in the Big 12 this year said "I will probably just pawn my ring because it won't fit in my jewelry box with the rest of the rings we have won during my career. Ben responded "whatever box this comes in is my ring case and it will fit just fine" They were room mates during the week and had a great time. Ben played guard instead of center which he had not done since his junior year in high school and had a good game per Tom Bresnahan (position coach) and Gene Stallings (head coach). He signed with an agent yesterday and is looking forward to Pro Day SMU and the draft/free agency.
