The eyes of Texas can stay in Texas, with only an occassional glance to the West Coast if absolutely necessary.
After two dominant wins on the road, the No. 2 Texas Longhorns
don't have to leave their home state for the rest of the regular
season.
At 8-0 and in sole possession of first place in the Big 12 South, the Longhorns have games left at home against Central Florida, 99 miles north at Baylor, home against Kansas and 105 miles east at Texas A&M on Thanksgiving.
And if they do win the division, the Big 12 championship game is
at the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium in Arlington.
The challenge now is fighting off outsiders' assumptions that
they'll breeze to 13-0 and into the BCS title game in Pasadena,
Calif. on Jan. 7.
