Oklahoma or Texas: Which Team Will Have More Wins in 2013? [1]

Mack Brown enters 2013 squarely on the hot seat.

With uncertainty looming over the top of the Big 12 in 2013, should Texas and Oklahoma still be considered the favorites? Or is it Oklahoma State or TCU? What about Kansas State or Baylor?

All six teams should be in the middle of the Big 12 title picture, but Texas is the biggest wildcard. The Longhorns have the talent to win the league but underachieved last year.

Sisemore was inducted into the NCAA Hall of Fame in 2002. Had freshman been allowed to play on the varsity in 1969, Sisemore would have won two national titles and been a conference champion all four seasons in Austin.

4. Colt McCoy, QB, 2005-09

7 of 11

The appropriately named gunslinger is the winningest quarterback in NCAA history with 45 victories as the starter at Texas. As a freshman, McCoy set a single-season school record for touchdown passes and tied an NCAA freshman record with 29 scoring throws (since broken by Sam Bradford). As the Big 12 Player of the Year his junior season, McCoy reset the Texas passing record book with school marks for career touchdown passes, single-season TD passes, most total TDs and most career passing yards. He also set an NCAA record for efficiency in 2008 by completing 76.7% of his passes. After being left out of the Big 12 title game as a junior, the Texas quarterback led his team to an undefeated regular season and conference title, earning a birth in the national title game against Alabama. Yet, Burnt Orange fans are left to wonder what could have been, as the two-time Big 12 Player of the Year suffered a shoulder injury in the first quarter and never returned to a college football field. The Maxwell, Walter Camp and Davey O’Brien Award winner finished his career with 13,253 passing yards and 112 TDs to go with 1,589 yards rushing and 20 more trips to paydirt.

3. Ricky Williams, RB, 1995-98

8 of 11

With his trademark dreadlocks, a rare combination of strength and speed and a flair for the dramatic, Williams left an indelible mark on the University of Texas. As a freshman fullback, he broke Earl Campbell’s freshman school rushing record with 990 yards, claiming Southwest Conference Freshman of the Year honors. He helped Texas to one of the biggest upsets in NCAA history when the Horns beat Nebraska in the inaugural Big 12 title game as well. Williams earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year honors and claimed the Doak Walker Trophy as the nation’s top running back after his 1,893-yard, 25-TD junior season. As a senior, Williams ran his way to a Heisman Trophy and became the NCAA’s all-time leading rusher with 6,279 yards (since broken by Ron Dayne). Williams set 21 NCAA records and received the greatest percentage of first-place votes cast in Heisman history. He also became the first two-time winner of the Doak Walker Award in NCAA history. He won the Walter Camp and Maxwell Awards in 1998 as well. The two-time consensus All-American is currently second all-time in NCAA history with 452 points scored and owns 38 Texas school records.

2. Earl Campbell, RB, 1974-77

9 of 11

One the single most imposing forces to ever carry a football, Campbell was a two-time conference champion, a consensus All-American, a Davey O’Brien Award winner and the first Longhorn to claim the most coveted trophy in all of sports, the 1977 Heisman. The legendary “Tyler Rose” led the nation in rushing (1,744 yards) and scoring (19 TDs) that season. He left school with a then Texas record 4,443 yards and 41 touchdowns. The NFL Rookie of the Year, All-Pro, Offensive Player of the Year and Hall of Famer is one of the most violent runners in the history of the sport - just ask this Rams defender [27]. Or any of these guys [28] trying to play defense.

1. Vince Young, QB, 2002-05

10 of 11

VY is among the greatest players ever seen on a college gridiron. Young was 30-2 as a starter at Texas, became the first player in NCAA history to throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in the same year, won the Davey O’Brien Award, was a Heisman Finalist and put on, according to Pete Carroll, “the best performance I’ve ever seen by one player [29]” in the 2005 National Championship win over USC. Young left after his redshirt junior season holding school records for career completion percentage (61.8%), single-game efficiency (85.7%), rushing yards by a QB (3,127), total offense for a career (9,167) and single-game total offense (506). The Big 12 Freshman of the Year (2003) and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year (2005) is one of only four players in history to claim two Rose Bowl MVP trophies. Many believe that had voting for the Heisman taken place after the bowls, Young would have easily beaten out Reggie Bush for the coveted trophy.

25 Things to Know from Spring Football [40]

Spring practice has ended, here are all the key injuries, personnel decisions and storylines

Depending on your point of view, spring practice is either a respite from the football-free months of winter and a taste of things to come in August. On the other hand, it’s only appealing to the hardcore football fan.

Which Team Will Win the Big 12 in 2013? [67]

Behind a powerful rushing attack, is Texas primed to win the Big 12?

Unpredictable is the best word to sum up the Big 12 heading into the 2013 season.

The defending Big 12 champs (Kansas State) lost several key pieces, including quarterback Collin Klein and linebacker Arthur Brown. However, it’s hard to bet against Bill Snyder.

Where Will the Texas Longhorns Finish in the Big 12 in 2013? [88]

Can Texas contend for a conference title in 2013?

Texas has underachieved in recent years, but the Longhorns appear to be back on track after a 9-4 record last season. After going 5-7 in 2010, Texas has made the climb back to Big 12 title contention, but another 7-5 or 8-4 year could spell the end of Mack Brown’s tenure in Austin.

Ranking the Big 12's Running Backs for 2013 [15]

Baylor's Lache Seastrunk ranks as the top Big 12 running back for 2013.

With Lache Seastrunk’s emergence late in the 2012 season, and another solid year from Kansas’ James Sims, the Big 12 has two top-tier options for 2013. Seastrunk was on a tear at the end of the year and should post even bigger numbers with a full season as Baylor’s No. 1 back. Sims missed three games last year, yet finished with more than 1,000 yards.
