'95 Virginia. Good catch. That game is why Texas went on to win the SWC in 1995.
First, it proved to them that they could be a pretty good defensive team. Not great, but pretty good, which was a huge step up from the previous Mackovic teams.
Second, UVA was a damn good, well coached team. A week or two after that game they defeated Florida State (who nobody in the ACC beat back then) on a highly watched Thursday night game. And I think that game gave our team a lot of confidence. Texas went out and completely destroyed Texas Tech two days later, then kept playing good football all the way up to the Sugar Bowl.
