The Texas offense shown lined up in the I formation. The I formation is often used for short-yardage situations, the case here with Texas just outside Colorado's goal line. The 2005 UT team more commonly used the shotgun formation.
After the game, spontaneous celebrations occurred along Guadalupe Street (the "Drag") which runs adjacent to the UT campus.
