Texas Destroys UTEP 64-7 -- Celebration Thread

in Texas Longhorns Football
Email
PrintThat was what we needed. Colt was the guy we thought he'd be all year, freshman DJ Monroe became the first player in Texas history (!) to return two kickoffs for a touchdown in a career, Vondrell McGee hit 100 yards on less than 10 carries, and we found out that Trevor Walker is the forth string QB. The Horns get a much needed week of rest before taking on Colorado. For now we can celebrate Colt's big day and the fact that the Horns remain undefeated while so many other top ten teams go down.

what a D we are developing.
Great game on ST also

and we without kindle and williams for most of it.
I really can’t wait to see them dismantle the rest of the big 12.

For keeping the score below 70?
If so, it should be a co-mvp award with Fitzhenry causing a fumble on Hills to keep him from going into the endzone.
I was wondering who that was.
It would have been a good strip if he was on defense.

Our offense and special teams
Are costing or D shutouts. We would have shut out Wyoming and UTEP without mistakes from other units of the team.
That being said, nice win. You know our expectations are high when we thrash a team 65-7 and fans are talking about our mistakes and missed opportunities.

Best defensive performance I've seen from a Texas team.
Just unreal.
Once Colt got his daily pick out of the way, he played lights out.
We have a lot of young, fast, undersized guys. The Garrett Gilbert era is gonna be a blast.
Mythical Fozzy Creature indeed.
the thing i like the most about gilbert is his upside, all the while being as polished as he is.
to top it off, he has a college level training program to get him into the shape he will need to be to be the field general at Texas. even though he is playing in limited time, he is definitely about as accurate as Colt.
If You See Kay, Oh You
Nice. Earl gives profs to Blake for his 1st pick today during post game interview.
"We don't freestyle Texas Fight, big boy." - Coach Brown
Great game, but ESPN are assholes
Just enjoying the highlights after the game and Kordell Stewart with dumb ass crew all have ’Bama ahead of Texas. Why no respect?
well...
first off – does it really matter?
secondly – TX is yet to play any team that is the calibar of a VT, and Bama has.
I honestly
on a neutral field would pick Texas Tech over VT. So in my eyes, Texas has played a team the “caliber” of Va Tech. Same Va Tech that needed a busted play to beat Nebraska in Blacksburgh.

TT beating #17 Houston at half
VT is overrated as usual. Is VT good now that they beat an un-proven Miami team? Miami beat Florida State who sucked today and GT showed what they have to offer in last years bowl game.
by Longhorns84 on Sep 26, 2009 10:22 PM CDT up reply actions
Its because
they all were so high on Miami after last week and Va Tech handed it to them today. The same Va Tech that got beat by Bama, so Stewart and the rest of those i dots at the worldwide leader have to try and save face somehow.
“Oh well, Va Tech’s only loss is to Alabama so Alabama must be EXTREMELY good if Va Tech beat Miami, a team that is top 10 because it beat Florida State and Georgia Tech.”
The "Big Bang" was actually a Will Muschamp chestbump......with the Earth!
Seriously
Kirk. This is CFB and your sarcastic layout of analyst logic is ironically accurate. I can say without cheek that I’m fine with the scenario you layot above. We’ve looked incredibly weak in many areas against much weaker teams than VA Tech and even Miami have played. So in my view those teams deserve their current rankings. In time, however, I believe things will work out for the serving team(s); the Horns will prevail.
by DaGoose on Sep 27, 2009 12:49 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Big picture. Think big picture.
Either Bama or Florida will lose, in December if not before. One, I predict, WILL lose before the SEC title game.
Hard to say how impressive Longhorns were today — UTEP was utterly outclassed in both lines. Even the worst Big 12 team is far superior up front to what this team was. All those easy points won’t come so easy in the Big 12. But you gotta love the speed UT can trot out there; very different from last season.
Texas did what they needed to do
Texas didn’t against TT or Wyoming so its a good relief!

similar hit to potts, only with a knee to the back of his head on the way down for good measure
If that hit put JC down for that long I guess Potts must have Wolverine healing powers
Not cool.
He got blind-sided (nothing wrong with that) and his head got nasty whiplash on his O-Lineman’s knee. That’s at least a bad concussion and maybe some neck damage. It didn’t look good.

Anyone notice on the Monroe kick return
when DJ hits the hole, MG is basically standing still when DJ runs past him, but MG is fast enough that they’re both the first ones in the endzone. I love our team speed this year.

He is the most important player on the #1 overall team, and he just got hammered. They’d do this for Colt too. Not saying that its a good thing that they do it at all, just that they would do it for everyone.

If it is "literally" the toughest ticket in town
As the commentator just suggested, what exactly does that mean?
It can take a punch?
Oh my. They are letting Craig James call this game?
Is there anyone with a more Texas Tech bias? Come on ESPN.
Coogs score first
Leach challenged it. Looks like he fumbled it into the end zone. Refs didn’t agree. 7-0 UH.

All they need is some lucky bounces
Not to take away from their win against Oklahoma State, but without that incredibly lucky bounce on their go-ahead TD, they lose that game. A good bounce this game, especially at home, and they can take down Tech too.

I want to bring up the field goal with 2 seconds left at the end of the half against UTEP
We intercepted the ball with 17 seconds left on the clock, up 47-7….
Am I the only person who thought we should have taken a knee? Style points, Mack?
I thought the decision to throw two quick passes and go for the kick was really strange.
- I’m of the belief that you can never ever ever run up the score in the first half. There’s no such thing. If your team can’t make it through 30 minutes of football you shouldn’t be on the field.
- I liked it, find out the range of your kicker, might pay off dividends later in the year
I don't
I think we’re entitled to play at least a full half of football, unless we’re up by 100 or something.
I actually liked the aggressiveness. You really can’t say we were going for style points when we had guys in at the end of the game whom even the most hardcore fans have never heard of.
by TheElusiveShadow on Sep 26, 2009 8:51 PM CDT up reply actions
I thought Mack would order a knee . . .
but with an open date and the way the early games have gone, I think he figured it was a good time to run some time-pressured plays. And to give No. 15 a shot at a long FG, if it came to that.
May also have sent a message to the players; that more than anything else — I’m going all in, I expect you to.
Statesman post
about an hour ago listed UT injuries — five or six, said none were considered serious. Hall hurt shoulder and knee. Sergio seemed to be fine. I worry about Aaron Williams (shoulder).
Houston missed a field goal after a huge penalty
That kind of offsets the early Tech fumble.
