   He still made a boneheaded decision with the third down incomplete pass that   
   allowed   
   Texas to keep two timeouts. He didn't need a touchdown to make it a two score   
   game.   
   They were already in position for a chip shot FG. What was to be gained by   
   risking a pass   
   play. He made a bad situation worse after they recovered the onside kick. Had   
   he taken a    
   knee three times and punted the ball, Texas would have had 80 yards or more to   
   score   
   a touchdown with less than 20 seconds on the clock. He played the last two   
   minutes in   
   the only way he could have lost the game. He is very fortunate Texas couldn't   
   convert   
   with four cracks from the 12 yard line. This wasn't quite as boneheaded as   
   Mario    
   Christobal blowing the Georgia Tech game when all he had to do was take a   
   knee, but   
   it's pretty close to that bad. It is inexcusable for a head coach to lose a   
   game that his   
   player's have already won.
