As an alumn since 89, this obviously will be the biggest game I will have witnessed.

Hallmark moment if somehow we can pull off the victory.


Question: When was the last time we had a #4 or better opponent come into our house????

Anyone know?

I'm thinking you have to go back to the SMU v. Texas game in 1983. That's the year Texas blew a National Championship when Craig Curry fumbled the punt that led to a 10-9 victory by Georgia in Cotton Bowl. Texas beat SMU 15-12 breaking SMU's 21 game unbeaten streak
