The Texas Longhorns were coming off of a 1981 season where they went undefeated with an 11 – 0 record….only to lose the National Championship with a 10 – 9 loss to Georgia…..so they had high expectations for the 1982 season….and that is when a 9 – 2 regular season was a bit disappointing….so, when they lost to UNC in the Sun Bowl….the season became distasteful to Longhorns everywhere.
