Perhaps the football gods weren't pleased Texas and Texas A&M weren't playing on Thanksgiving Day. Whatever the reason, the Longhorns turned in an ugly performance in a 20-13 Thursday night loss to TCU .
It didn't matter who was at quarterback, as Texas coach Mack Brown tried both starter David Ash and backup Case McCoy at various times. The offense just wasn't in sync at all. Ash threw two interceptions deep in the Horned Frogs' territory in the early stages, and UT managed only two drives of more than 25 yards on its last nine possessions.
