In what has to be the biggest fluke in college football so far, Texas lost its third tight end to a season-ending injury this season.

Ian Harris, who played in three games last season, will miss 2009 because of some recurrence of a stinger. Harris was replacing D.J. Grant (knee surgery), who was replacing Blaine Irby (dislocated knee).

Texas has other players to fill the position, but it sounds like all are either converted lineman or freshmen. But with Colt McCoy at quarterback, couldn’t the Longhorns just play with four wideouts all year?
