coach howard schnellenberger brought an upstart program from the state of florida to austin for an early season showdown against the texas longhorns. schnellenberger's team was virtually unknown on the national stage, but they were fresh off of their first winning season in memory, and they were also riding high after a bowl victory.

perhaps the horns overlooked coach howard's up and coming squad, as texas eeked out a 14-7 victory.

"wait a minute," you say, the game hasn't been played yet! ahh yes, you're correct. the paragraphs above describe the 1981 miami hurricanes' trip to austin. will it be deja vu all over again in 2008?

no.
