In the earliest Southwest Conference game ever scheduled, No. 10 Texas took down No. 6 Arkansas 23-16 in Austin. Down 7-3 in the second quarter, Texas coach Fred Akers took a fourth down gamble on the goal line and sent running back A.J. "Jam" Jones on a draw play that put the Longhorns up for good.

Funny timing...
From the same site on the article on colleges that are launching new football programs over the next few years:
Lamar University (Beaumont, Texas): NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision, Southland Conference (2010) – President James Simmons, Athletics Director Billy Tubbs, Head Coach Ray Woodard
Any chance that is THE Billy Tubbs?

Yes
He was the head basketball coach at Lamar back in the 80s, so he returned to his roots so to speak.
