Oh, you've been teased so many times by Texas and its rotation of running backs.

Stop the Texas Longhorns if you've heard this one before. They've found a running back they can depend on.

It would be easy to say that Colt McCoy will be the key factor for the Longhorns to get past Texas A&M Thursday night.

The goal is in sight. With just one game left to play in the regular season and a date with the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Big 12 title game, the Texas Longhorns are two wins away from another trip to Pasadena.

Let's recap how the season has progressed at this position thus far: Vondrell McGee was the starting RB on opening day, and held that position through the game with Wyoming.A He proceeded to rush for ...

Longhorn Coach Mack Brown told the press this week that the team will be giving the ball to running back Cody Johnson more often this week in the hope of energizing the running game.

The old saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. The Longhorns were almost fooled again when they had the ball on their own 1-yard line last Saturday and tried to run Cody Johnson out of the end zone in the I-formation. Remember in 2008 when Texas was stopped for a safety against Texas Tech after trying to run Chris ...
