A flyover before Saturday's game will include some Texas Exes from the 560th Flying Training Squadron.
Two of the pilots are University of Texas 1998 graduates.
One Texas sophomore who is doing a great job of keeping opposing teams' aerial assault under control is safety Earl Thomas.
#12 Thomas is getting some national recognition and has been named a semifinalist for the 2009 Jim Thorpe Award, honoring the nation's top defensive back.
Two Longhorns have won the award in the past four years. Can Thomas join Safety Michael Huff in 2005 and Cornerback Aaron Ross in 2006? He's already got six interceptions in which two were returned for touchdowns.
