That A&M QB looked fantastic, but their defense just couldn’t slow Texas down.

Yep! McCoy is slated to be in Heisman contention and he wasn't even the best quarterback on the field. McCoy completed 24 of 40 passes for 304 yards and ran for a career-high 175 yards on 18 carries (i.e., he tried to throw the ball but couldn't) against the 11th worst pass defense in the nation. But Johnson was even more spectacular, completing 26 of 33 passes for 342 yards with four TD passes against the Longhorns' 3rd ranked defense.

I'm more impresed with J. Johnson. Heisman indeed ...

I was reading somewhere that 5 of the 7 most effiecient offenses (3rd downs, completion percentages...) were in the state of Texas:

Texas Longhorns
Texas Tech Red Raiders
Texas A&M Fightin Aggies
Texas Christian Horned Frogs
Houston Cougars

All 5 will be bowl bound (possibly SMU as well), and 2 will be in the BCS (TCU, Texas). One of the BCS teams will be in the national title game.

Houston beat 2 Big 12 teams, Tech beat Oklahoma and Nebraska, A&M beat Tech in Lubbock, and TCU and Texas have beaten everyone they played. Lets hear it for Texas college football!
