In 2004, Texas didn't have receivers, if you remember in 2003 Texas top 3 receivers graduated leaving the cup board pretty bare. In 2004 the best receivers was TE David Thomas and there was literally no receiver help after that.
In that game Vince threw to beautiful passes that hit freshmen Limas Sweed right in the hands that he dropped both would have been scores. None of our receivers could score a lick.
After that season our new WR coach came in and he made one big change going into the 2K5 season. Basically he told them to stop and catch the ball and once you have caught it begin to run. It worked our receivers the next year really cut down on their dropped passes.
I'm not saying Vince was a great passer that season, he wasn't, but it wasn't all his fault Texas was shut out in that game. BTW Benson had 124 all purpose yards in that game, so you can't blame Benson for that loss either.
