Charlie Strong's Seat Heats Up as Texas Is in Danger of Missing Bowl Game

Case in point: Texas football during these last two weeks.

The Longhorns were on the verge of heading into overtime against California last Saturday after a late offensive surge led by quarterback Jerrod Heard. But kicker Nick Rose missed a game-tying extra point, and Texas lost, 45-44, to the visiting Golden Bears.

This Saturday, Texas had a much-different look to the majority of its game against No. 24 Oklahoma State, but the end result was similar in a 30-27 loss.

After Texas went three-and-out in a tied game with less than a minute left, punter Michael Dickson had a snap go right through his hands.
