11 October 2008 – Colt McCoy (12) of the Texas Longhorns passes during the Texas 45-35 win over Oklahoma at the Red River Rivalry game played at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Either the Texas Longhorns orchestrated their answers impeccably Monday, or they are genuinely pleased junior quarterback Sam Bradford has returned to the Oklahoma lineup.

Those who appeared at Texas’ weekly media luncheon insist they’re happy Bradford will be back on the field in time for this week’s Red River Rivalry after missing 31/2 games with a separated right (throwing) shoulder.

No one in burnt orange appeared to fight the urge to say, “Aw, man. Why couldn’t he have returned next week?”

There was an upbeat inflection in Longhorn voices while welcoming back last year’s Heisman Trophy winner.

Defensive tackle Lamarr Houston: “Most definitely, I’m happy he’s back. It’s exciting to play somebody who’s got that type of status. He’s a great player.”

Texas fans will call it revenge. The Longhorns were more likely to describe it as relief.
Colt McCoy threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Dan Buckner in the fourth quarter that gave the Longhorns some room and No. 2 Texas beat feisty Texas Tech and their prolific new passer 34-24 Saturday night.

The pass to Buckner with nine minutes left put Texas ahead 31-17, but it was an otherwise shaky outing for last season’s runner-up for the Heisman Trophy.

McCoy finished with 205 yards and two interceptions on 24 of 34 passing for the Longhorns (3-0, 1-0 Big 12). After the game, the senior revealed he missed practice on Tuesday because of flu-like symptoms that he was dealing with most of the week.

“We had to keep fighting as a team. Not everything is going to go our way,” said McCoy, who completed 15 of 18 in the second half, but also threw an interception in the red zone.

Now the Red Raiders (2-0) are coming to Austin and revenge is the buzzword of the week, even if the second-ranked Longhorns (2-0) are publicly trying to avoid it.

“They got us,” McCoy said Monday.

“I was just in shock,” he said. “That’s one of the greatest plays that’s ever happened. … The hardest part is you what you did in that game: The offense goes down and scores right at the end of the game and we think we’ve got it won. That’s what makes it so hard.”
