Texas called time out and quarterback James Street came to the sidelines to talk things over with Royal. Asked what he told Street, Royal said, "There was no question that we were going to go for it (a first down)," Royal said. "We drew straws to see who would call it." Street said Royal made the decision and there was some discussion about whether to run, throw a short pass or throw a long pass.
