ARLINGTON, Texas — Arkansas punt returner Joe Adams made one quick cut through a wall of Kansas State defenders and sprinted toward the sideline before turning upfield. Around 40 or so yards later, Adams crossed the goal line and emphatically slammed the ball into the Cowboys Stadium turf. The Hogs were rolling. They led by double digits. The red half of the 80,956 in attendance was going hog wild. All that, and Arkansas’ offense hadn’t even recorded a first down yet on the way to its 29-16 victory over the Wildcats in Friday night’s AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic.

Here’s my attempt at ranking the SEC teams: 1. Kentucky: The Wildcats rebounded well after the late-game loss at Indiana. UK’s talent isn’t in question. And neither is its consistency compared to its SEC counterparts. 2. Florida: The Gators destroyed Texas A&M for most of the first half and then went the distance for a solid win. The guard play may have had its most balanced performance of the season. 3. Mississippi State: The Bulldogs played their first true road game and escaped Detroit on an Arnett Moultrie block.

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 Wildcats. Pre-Game Respect. A great decision by the UT brass to have a moment of silence before the game for the Oklahoma State’s tragedy of losing two of their women’s basketball coaches in a plane crash. Nice touch with the OSU logo on the Godzillatron. 1st Quarter (11:03) WTH Ash?! David Ash needs to realize that you do not need to jump when you throw the football. He has a tremendous upside but the decision making is suspect. Wildcats put the first points of the game after the turnonver. 2nd Quarter (3:02) WTH Blue Chip?! Way to take the momentum right out of the stadium. Coach Brown decides to go for it on fourth down at their own 41 yard line. Tray Allen false starts which kills the drive and ends up leading to a punt and the turning point of the game. 2nd Quarter (2:51) WTH Refs?! I am getting sick of these judgment calls! The KSU punt returner, Tramaine Thompson, fumbles the ball and the Horns recover in great field position. The ref felt that the returner was scared of the oncoming pressure and decided to throw the flag. Best Mack Brown meltdown ever. 2nd Quarter (:57) WTH Mack?! KSU was trying to get into position for a score before the half. Wildcat Sheldon Smith did his best tight rope act along the sidelines with a 24 yard catch which the refs really enjoyed by deciding to make the judgment call that it was a catch. Mack you have got to challenge that call. You do not need the timeouts so why not get the booth to review it. 3rd Quarter (3:43) WTH McCoy?! I guess the golden horseshoe is back in place. Case McCoy steps in an orchestrated a 6 play – 79 yard touchdown drive. Great designed play by Coach Harsin for McCoy to hit senior Blaine Irby for his first touchdown of the year. End of Game (:00) WTH UT Defense?! What an incredible display of domination by this unit. It was sad to see the effort was wasted with a loss. The Horns held the Wildcats to 121 yards of total offense. Collin Klein, aka Honey Badger (please), had 4 net yards of rushing on 26 carries. The other telling stat is that the Wildcats had 9 series which they had 3 plays and punt. Next up for the Longhorns are the Aggies for the final time? at 7PM on Turkey Day. Thanks for following my WTH articles throughout the season. I appreciate the opportunity to rant about the greatest University sports program in the country.

1. Could Collin Klein be kept below his averages Yes. Maybe the Wildcats quarterback was nicked up from last week’s physical win over Texas A&M, or maybe Texas’ defense was that good.
