1. WOULD THE RUNNING GAME REGAIN ITS MOJO? No. For the first time since the Missouri loss, Texas was without Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron (and, of course, Fozzy Whittaker).

WTH?! (What the Heck?) moments are attempts to find the memorable and the off-beat perspective on Longhorns sports. Here are some interesting moments from the Texas’ game against the Tigers. Pre-Game (15:00) WTH SEC?! Hey SEC… did you really get a look at what you just invited to the party. A stadium that has a hill set aside for MU Fans to lay blankets and pillows to watch a game?! Did you ever think that an SEC team is now going to have to play a game in the snow with this group? 1st Quarter (13:11) WTH Acho?! Clearly the leader of the defense, Emmanuel Acho, came up with a momentum changing turnover to stop a possible opening score. Acho lead the team in tackles with 12. He is one player that Manny Diaz cannot afford to lose. 1st Quarter (10:30) WTH Turning Point One?! Fozzy Whittaker was the only real option at running back with Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron nursing injuries. Captain America, Superman, MVP, whatever you want to call him; went down with a season ending injury on the 6th offensive play of the game. The emotional leader of the offense was helped off the field as well as any semblance of a running game left with him

WTH Moments – Texas at Missouri

The Big 12 has been hampered by injuries in recent weeks. Missouri running back Henry Josey, the Big 12’s leading rusher, was the latest to fall. He tore his ACL, MCL and patellar tendon — a situation serious enough to put his 2012 season in question. Texas running back Fozzy Whittaker, who scored nine touchdowns this year, also went down with a torn ACL in Saturday’s victory over Missouri. Two weeks ago, Oklahoma receiver Ryan Broyles and Texas A&M running back Christine Michael suffered torn ACLs and will miss the remainder of the season.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR THIS WEEK I’m looking for freshman running backs. Fozzy Whittaker was the heart and soul of this team, and now that his college career has reached the end of the road, it’s time for youngsters Malcolm Brown and Joe Bergeron to go from boys to men over these next three games.

The Texas Longhorn football team may have lost its heart and soul when running back Fozzy Whittaker went down with his season-ending knee injury, but Whittaker remains positive and willing to provide support for his teammates.

Texas lost a football game Saturday. And some of its soul. When Fozzy Whittaker’s right knee gave out, the Longhorns’ most valuable and certainly most visible player was done for the season and career, taking with him the team’s emotional anchor and severely deflating his teammates.
