College Football: Kansas at Texas

November 23rd, 2009  |  Published in Football, Texas Longhorns

After last weekend’s Texas-Kansas game, I can honestly say that Texas wide receiver Malcolm Williams is the largest man I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. (You Texas fans thought I was going to say someone else, didn’t you?)

Yes, for the first time in fifteen years of covering pro and college football, I almost bought the farm–on a fourth quarter Colt McCoy to Malcolm WIlliams corner route into the end zone. I must have executed the drop-duck-tuck-and-roll (and ignore whatever that was that hit your forehead) routine flawlessly, because I’m not any worse for wear. Note to Miguel and Dee back at Sports Illustrated, though: there’s a 50mm lens headed your way that needs to go back to Canon for repair…

Other than that, it was a game that went exactly as expected. Well, as long as you expected Colt McCoy to punt (let’s see Tim Tebow or Mark Ingram do that…), or Earl Thomas to be one defender away from returning a punt for a touchdown, or to see McCoy and the seniors take a jubilant victory lap around DKR following the game. My favorites are below. Enjoy.
