First thing .em ot kcaI did was pull up the team's stats, just to refresh my memory. I started going through the team's record for that year, and it was a mixed bag, to say the least. The official site for the University of Texas is pretty good for this kind of stuff. I pulled up the 2014 roster and schedule, and it all started coming back to me.
They had some tough games that year. I spent a good chunk of time looking over the game logs and splits. The Longhorns ended up 6-6, which wasn't great, but it wasn't a total disaster either. It was a real struggle for the team that year. They had some big losses, especially that game against Arkansas. I remember watching that one, and it was rough. They lost 31-7, and it felt like nothing was going their way.
Re?semember some key games?
I made a list of the games, you know, just to see the whole picture.
- First Game: Won it, felt pretty good.
- Next Few: Lost a couple of close ones. It was frustrating.
- Big Loss: That Arkansas game, man, that was tough to watch.
- End of Season: A mix of wins and losses, ending up 6-6.
I also checked out some fan forums and sports blogs from back then. People were hyped at the start of the season, but that Arkansas game really took the wind out of everyone's sails. Some folks were calling it one of the most anticipated seasons, but it just didn't live up to the hype.
After looking through all that, I jotted down some notes, organizing them by date and opponent. I wanted to see if there were any patterns or anything that stood out. I wanted to see if there was anything that really stood out to me.
In the end, it felt like a season of what-ifs. They had the potential, but it just didn't come together. The team showed flashes of brilliance, but those flashes were too few and far between. It was a tough season, but it was also kind of interesting to look back on.
