Peter Bean at Burnt Orange Nation offers up his post game reactions.

PB heaps praise on Ash in his initial games highlights post. I actually didn't think the TD throw to Mike Davis was worthy of this flattery - I think a more qualified secondary either knocks that throw down or even intercepts it - but I completely agree that Ash played like a true star on Saturday. If he can play anywhere close to that level Texas is BCS bound.

The kid's a baller, and there was so much to love about the way he played tonight, including just the fact that he made the correct reads and threw a bunch of deep balls where his receivers could make a play. The touchdown strike to Mike Davis was an absolutely terrific throw, but while it surpassed his similarly beautiful 40-yard TD bomb to Jaxon Shipley at Iowa State last year as the best deep touchdown pass of his career, it wasn't even among my two favorite passes of the night.

I loved even more the pass Ash made in the second quarter to Davis on the sidelines for a 12-yard gain, after using his feet to get into space -- a poised play, smart read, and great throw that encapsulated all his skills as a quarterback. And my favorite David Ash pass of the night? Actually, his shortest one: the 1-yard touchdown to Ryan Roberson. Watch it again, if you have the tape, because it is as perfectly thrown as that pass can possibly be made -- Robert Griffin III couldn't have done it better.

In his post-game react PB goes into more detail on the dominance of the Texas running game.

Backfield brilliance. One of those fronts, of course, is Texas' ever-improving ground attack, which just overwhelmed Ole Miss pretty much from start to finish. In fact, my only two regrets last night were Joe Bergeron's injury and the fact that Mack Brown decided to take a knee at the end, which succeeded insofar as the broadcasters dutifully characterized the move as "classy" but failed in my book for denying Jeremy Hills the opportunity to score his first career touchdown.

Beyond that, Texas' rushing attack looked as strong as it has since 2005 in overwhelming Ole Miss. Before he got hurt, Joe Bergeron was doing a great job pounding the Rebels between the tackles, where after last night he's now amassed 194 of his 207 yards on the ground. Some fans have grown impatient with starting Bergeron and having to wait for Malcolm Brown, but I actually love the tactic of having Bergeron pave the way forward initially, which increases Brown's effectiveness in getting to the edge. Both backs are excelling doing at what they do best, and outside of Tuscaloosa the Longhorns running back duo is second to none.

And that's to say nothing of DJ Monroe, Daje Johnson, and Jonathan Gray. Johnson's already broken a long one, but while Gray hasn't just yet, as I said last week and as was evident in last night's 9 carries for 50 yards, he's an incredibly impressive runner in terms of his feel and ability to accelerate when it's there and fight for optimal gain when it's not, and it's just a matter of time before he breaks one.

As for Monroe? The final tally: 1 carry, 10 yards, 1 touchdowns -- and yes, 1 defender trucked to get there.
