Texas blew their golden opportunity last night in the Fiesta Bowl. They had a chance to claim why they should share the national championship with the AP vote, and blew it.
Texas had to make a come-from-behind scoring drive to beat Ohio St.
24-21 in the Fiesta Bowl. Yes Texas the team that claims they are better than Oklahoma and Florida, had to come back to beat an slow, overrated Ohio St. team.
Lets call it what is was, a lucky win. Ohio St. took the lead with to much time left on the clock, they left about 2:05 remaining in the game. Then Texas received a favorable spot on a key fourth down play. And then they once again exposed a weak defense by beating the blitz and throwing a quick strike for a touchdown.
Texas played one of the worst first half's ever seen. Going into halftime Ohio St. lead Texas 6-3. Then finally Texas exposed a slower-than-pancake syrup Ohio St. defense. But with seven minutes left in the game, Texas only lead 17-9.
If this was Texas's statement, it didn't work. They were suppose to blow the doors off of Ohio St. Instead they played mostly UN-inspired.
Florida has already beat Ohio St. in a BCS game, Oklahoma would have easily scored 60 on them, and Utah would have spanked them.
Ohio St. is just not that good.
Texas had a chance at splitting the national championship before the Fiesta Bowl. They should have blew the doors off of the Buckeyes.
Instead they just blew it.
