Texas has spent better than half a decade trying to get back to an elite level. Ever since losing to Alabama in the 2009 National Championship, the Longhorns haven't just been mediocre or bad—they've been incredibly boring.Five games into 2016, it's clear that we still haven't gotten "elite Texas" back, as the Longhorns sit at just 2-2 after an18-point loss to Oklahoma State, but boy is "fun Texas" back.All of this happened in the Longhorns' loss to Oklahoma State:

- Two Texas running backs finished with over 100 yards
- The only quarterback to throw a pass was a true freshman, Shane Buechele. He didn't have a great day, going 21-33 for 239 yards and 7.2 yards per attempt.
- The Longhorns had THREE EXTRA POINTS BLOCKED, including one returned for two points.
- They barely missed a field goal, thanks to a delay of game penalty right before the kick.
