AUSTIN, Texas - All Texas and Colt McCoy can do now is wait.

McCoy passed for two touchdowns, ran for two more and No. 4 Texas snapped a two-game losing streak to rival Texas A&M with a 49-9 victory Thursday night, a performance that may or may not have been impressive enough to boost McCoy's chances for the Heisman Trophy and his team's position in the Bowl Championship Series.

The 40-point win was the largest in the rivalry since a 48-0 Texas victory in 1898.

McCoy was 23 of 28 passing for 311 yards and he added 49 yards rushing for Texas (11-1, 7-1 Big 12) to earn his first win against the Aggies (4-8, 2-6) in three tries. He also got career victory No. 31, passing Vince Young to set a Texas record for starting quarterbacks.

Cody Johnson ran for 102 yards and two scores for the Longhorns, with most of his yards coming in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of reach.

Texas, currently No. 2 in the BCS standings, now must wait to see what happens this weekend to determine if its national title dreams are intact.
