At Jeff Banister's behest, Rangers bench coach Steve Buechele was in Austin to take in the experience of watching his son, Shane, start at quarterback for the Texas Longhorns against Notre Dame on Sunday night.

Buechele, a true freshman, helped lead the Longhorns to an upset -- 50-47 in double overtime -- going 16 of 26 passing for 280 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception in the process.
