Texas left a number of points on the board -- seven for failing to score at the goalline on the toss sweep, three for missing a makable 44-yard field goal, and 14 total for failing to corral two interceptions that would have gone for easy touchdowns. In all, the Longhorns left 24 points on the board. Take away the tipped pass for Rice and Texas would have won 51-6.

A world-class rationalization of being Texas, and only beating Rice 34-17, when you were favored by 31.
