Week two of the college football season was jam-packed with great games that kept fans on the edge of their seats – Georgia’s Aaron Murray had a spectacular game against Steve Spurrier’s Gamecocks and the Michigan vs. Notre Dame showdown came down to the wire. But the most surprising result came from the Texas vs. BYU matchup – the Cougars stomped the Longhorns, 40-21.
The Longhorns gave up 550 yards rushing to the Cougars – BYU’s Taysom Hill had 259 total – an absurd number. It took just one day for coach Mack Brown to address the situation – he has fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz.

Brown has already replaced Diaz with former defensive coordinator Greg Robinson:

Definitely an interesting move by Brown – Robinson was run out of Syracuse after four straight losing seasons.
Texas’ week three matchup is against Ole Miss, which is now ranked in the AP Poll, in Memorial Stadium.
