AUSTIN, Texas | There's nothing like a sea of orange at Darrell K. Royal Stadium when the Horns are going well, like while whipping Texas Tech 57-7 on a cool November day.
The win Friday afternoon takes Texas to the Big 12 championship game and perhaps beyond.
In many ways, it was a hard-earned, yet easy victory in front of a packed stadium that included Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys and a few other luminaries.
Texas broke early and never looked back, fast-erasing memory of a defeat in Lubbock last season. It was the most lopsided win for the Horns this season and kept alive a drive to the league title that began after beating Alabama 34-24 in the season's second game.
At Alabama, we might add.
We'll see where the Horns go from here. A bitter defeat to Big 12 rival Oklahoma in this year's Red Rivalry Shootout in Dallas may be enough to keep Texas out of the coveted College Football Playoffs (CFP), however.
Still, a loss by one of the majors - Ohio State, Michigan, Georgia or Washington - may get Texas in the biggies for the national title. The Horns are 11-1 for the season and 8-1 in the conference...
