Quarterback Colt McCoy had a Heisman-worthy performance with 304 yards passing with four touchdowns, 175 yards rushing and a 65-yard TD run in a Heisman-like performance.
"Now we got to go get Nebraska," McCoy said, who unlike his teammate, was all smiles after one of the best games of his career.

The Longhorns didn't put the game away until Marquise Goodwin's 95-yard kickoff return with seven minutes left gave them a 10-point lead. Texas A&M kicker Randy Bullock missed a chip shot field goal with 3:52 to play.
