AUSTIN -- In the closing minutes Saturday of a game he had to win, the kind he'd invariably lost, Charlie Strong made the kind of decisions that had been getting him fired all season.
And Texas won anyway on a last-minute field goal. Consider it a sign at your peril, maybe.
Even a 35-34 squeaker over eighth-ranked Baylor before 97,822 at Royal-Memorial Stadium doesn't guarantee Strong's future. He's had signature wins before. Just this year, for that matter.
But there was something different about the Longhorns in this game, and it started with their embattled head coach.
