Full transcript from the live blog of Texas Longhorns’ game against UTEP is posted below. You can find the original game live blog here.

9:15
Brian –  Welcome to the BevoSports.com live blog, We’ll be posting thoughts on through out the game. ESPN has stated that the Texas game will begin a little late, looks like a 9:23pm start. We may still miss a little of the game.
9:17
Brian –  Orangebloods.com reported just a few minutes ago that Jared Norton will be starting at middle linebacker over senior Rashad Bobino. Looks like we definitely know now Will Muschamp is calling the shots for this defense.
9:18
Brian –  And the worst thing possible for Texas fans just happened. UCF scores with under 2 minutes left to tie the game. If nothing changes they’ll be headed to overtime and we’ll miss at least some of the start of the Texas game.
9:19
Brian –  In case UCF/USF does go to OT, just a reminder that the Texas game should be available to stream audio at radio.woai.com
9:23
Brian –  Rooting hard for USF eventhough I usually want the top team go down. Just want this game over as quickly as possible.
9:23
Brian –  Texas is lined up (on the radio) for the kickoff.
9:24
Brian –  I’ll do a little play-by-play while it’s not on TV… Justin Tucker’s kickoff goes 6 yards deep and is a touchabck.
9:24
Brian –  Deon Beasley and Chykie Brown get the start at the corners. Not sure if Ryan Palmer is hurt or Brown just beat him out.
9:25
Brian –  A scramble and then a completed screen pass means first down for UTEP.
9:26
Brian –  Running play for a long run. UTEP is already on the other side of the 50.
9:27
Brian –  Listening to our defense is even more stomach wrenching than watvching them play.
9:27
Brian –  3rd and 3 for the Miners.
9:28
Brian –  First down completion. UTEP is down to the 30.
9:29
Brian –  Yikes. Another completion and another 8 yards for UTEP.
9:30
Brian –  3rd and short near the 20 yard line. UTEP is forced to take a timeout to avoid a delay of game. So far they’re doing whatever they want.
9:31
Brian –  First down UTEP.
9:32
Brian –  USF is trying to screw us. They just made their field goal even harder.
9:32
Brian –  POS kicker just hooked it left. Overtime.
9:33
Brian –  Another third and short for UTEP.
9:33
Brian –  norton hurt. Bobino in.

[Comment From Guest]
is the game on ESPN2 yet?
9:34
Brian –  @guest: no, the previous game is going to overtime.
9:34
Brian –  Blake Gideon breaks up a pass and forces a fourth down. UTEP attempting a 30 yd field goal. the snap was bad but the kicker was still able to get it through.
9:34
Brian –  Texas 0, UTEP 3
9:35
Brian –  9:15 left in first quarter.
9:37
Brian –  Let’s hope the UT offense is as sharp as they were against FAU, because the defense didn’t start too hot. At least they tightened up and held them to a field goal. Similar start to last week, but the team got a turnover then.
9:37
Brian –  Texas will start at 20 yard line after the touchback.
9:38
Brian –  Pass to Malcolm Williams loses a yard.
9:38
Brian –  Incompletion. 3rd and 11.
9:39
Brian –  Oh come on! 3rd and 11 and we run a QB draw for no gain.
9:40
Brian –  Good punt by John Gold and UTEP fair catch. UTEP will start at 41 yard line.
9:40
[Comment From Guest]
even x-m radio cant get a signal out
9:40
Brian –  @guest: radio.woai.com
9:43
Brian –  ESPN2 is at least briefly showing the game. Another gashing run for 7 yards.
9:43
Brian –  And they’re done. 4th and 1 for UCF.
9:44
Brian –  F***ing A! Another completion and UTEP is down to the Texas 40.
9:44
Brian –  UCF is within inches of a first down… here comes a measurement.
9:44
Brian –  2nd and 7 for UTEP…
9:45
Brian –  Ball game!! UCF finishes 6 inches short and the ball game is over.
9:45
Brian –  3rd and 7 UTEP
9:46
Brian –  Tight end drops it for UTEP and it brings it to 4th down.
9:46
Brian –  UTEP is attempting 49 yard field goal.
9:46
Brian –  And it’s good. UTEP scores on first two possesions.
9:46
Brian –  Game is now on ESPN2.
9:48
Brian –  UTEP kicker has a heck of a leg. Shown it on both field goal and both kickoffs.
9:48
Brian –  Texas 0, UTEP 6
9:48
Brian –  5:50 remaining iin first quarter.
9:50
Brian –  First 1st down for Texas. Safe pass to Cosby. On next play McCoy avoids sack a couiple times and gets a couple yards out of nothing.
9:51
Brian –  Offensive line is getting but kicked. McCoy has to scramble and finds Cosby deep. A little underthrown but DB doesn’t know where ball is and Cosby goes up and gets it. Huge play. Nice play by bothy guys.
9:51
Brian –  No huddle Texas.
9:53
Brian –  UTEP is bringing blitzers every play. Good time for McCoy on that play.
9:54
Brian –  Beautiful play call on the fade. They tried to bump Cosby at LOS and he gets by easily and McCoy hits him perfectly. Touchdown Texas.
9:54
Brian –  Texas 7, UTEP 6
9:54
Brian –  3:13 remaining first quarter.
9:56
Brian –  Let’s go Coach Muschamp. Get this thing figured out. Let’s see some defensive adjustments and a stop on this series.
9:57
Brian –  Kicks are going out of the end zone both ways. What’s the elevation in El Paso? Thin mountain air?
9:58
Brian –  Good penetration on first play of the drive but Roy Miller and others were out off control and let the guy run for the first down.
9:59
Brian –  Who is upstairs for the defense if bboth Muschamp and Duane Akina are on the field?
9:59
Brian –  Good pressure by Henry Melton forces QB out of pocket. 3rd and long UTEP.
10:00
Brian –  Punt team!! That a boy defense! Ah hell yeah Muschamp is fired up. Awesome to see.
10:01
Brian –  Timeout UTEP. 1:54 remaining first quarter.
10:02
Brian –  Dear Bevo Sports readers: please don’t eat Taco Bell’s volcano taco. We want you to come back to the site, not either dead and/or on the toilet.
10:03
Brian –  Bad snap results in shanked punt. Aaron Williams was in the punter’s face. Texas ball near midfield.
10:04
Brian –  Holy crap was that right? Arkansas State score 83 points today?
10:05
Brian –  More no huddle and empty sets. Chris Ogbonayya in the game but split wide,.
10:05
Brian –  Ogbonayya with two catches in a row lined up as WR.
10:06
Brian –  Did he just say several Texas-born players on the field? Really? You don’t say.
10:07
Brian –  Big ass facemask rips Vondrell McGee’s helmet off. Ouch. Hope he’s alright. No running room on that play again though, McGee would have been stopped in backfield if it wasn’t for the penalty.
10:08
Brian –  Second Quarter
10:10 [Poll] Will Texas defense hold UTEP under 24 points? View
10:13
Brian –  Crazy Legs Colt McCoy strikes again. Scrambles away and right before he goes passed the LOS finds Dan Buckner wide open for the touchdown. Another fantastic play by Colt and Buckner’s first career TD.
10:13
Brian –  Texas 14, UTEP 6
10:13
Brian –  14:51 remaining second quarter.
10:15
Brian –  I’ve had an alcoholic and a carbonated beverage in the last 10 minutes. Later might have them both mixed together. Colt is still impressive. Hope it’s not BS.
10:15
Brian –  Sergio Kindle on the rush and nails the QB (possibly late) but UTEP completes pass for first down.
10:16
[Comment From rjb28]
altitude around 3600
10:17
Brian –  That better not be pass interference on Texas. He had perfect coverage. Not sure what else you expect him to do. He was just in better position than the WR.
10:17
Brian –  That’s an awful call.
10:19
Brian –  Miller and Eddie Jones blow up a revers. 3rd and 23.
10:22
Brian –  Field goal is short and Cosby takes a pretty big chance by returning it. He had to go a LONG way to get back to where ti was kicked from. Luckily it was his best return of the year and he got all the way out to the other 35 yard line. Almost had a 109 yard return.
10:22
Brian –  11:20 remaining 2nd quarter.
10:24
Brian –  You had more than 21 observers, several of the refs also thought the play was over.
10:25
Brian –  First John Chiles appearance of the night.
10:26
Brian –  Speaking of homeruns there’s Fozzy Whittaker’s first career carry. Nice big play. Looks quick.
10:26
Brian –  UTEP DB was lined up offsides. Another nice run by Fozzy. I also think the line is finally starting to get some push. That was not the case earlier.
10:27
Brian –  Cody Johnson time.
10:28
Brian –  Touchdown CJ! I have a feeling that he’ll lead the Horns in rushing TD’s this season.
10:28
Brian –  Texas 21, UTEP 6
10:29
Brian –  9:20 remaining second quarter.
10:33
Brian –  This is a completely diffrerent d-line than earlier in the game. Penetration on nearly every plaay.
10:35
Brian –  Arkie State did score 83: http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=282502032&confId=80
10:35
Brian –  Wow. That was bout a foot from being a 60 yard td.
10:36
Brian –  UTEP taking advantage of our guys rushing the QB out of control and running screens and delays right passed our guys.
10:37
Brian –  Big 3rd down here for momentum. Texas stops UTEP and we might be up 21 points by halftime.
10:38
Brian –  Sergio Kindle is a junior, not a youngster anymore.
10:39
Brian –  Another bad snap and another deflected punt by Aaron Williams. I think it may have worked out better for UTEP because they got the roll inside the 20. Does UTEP not have a backup deep snapper?
10:39
Brian –  By the way, teach your kid to deep snap and he can play D1 football. Teams always need deep snappers.
10:40
Brian –  5:59 remaining second quarter.
10:41
rjb28 –  nice deep snap
10:42
Brian –  More playing time for Whittaker.
10:42
Brian –  Simple slant to Cosby is big play. Texas on UTEP 45.
10:43
Brian –  If we get the first down I want to see more Chiles.
10:43
Brian –  Fozzy isn’t afraid to run inside either. Looks to me like he’s earning himself so playing time tonight.
10:46
Brian –  MOre five wide with TE Blaine Irby and Ogbanayya both split out. Irby was wide open a seam route and McCoy puts right on the money for the touchdown. 22 yard score. I could do without the head band though Blaine.
10:46
Brian –  Texas 28, UTEP 6
10:46
Brian –  4:00 remaining in second quarter.
10:50
Brian –  More wide open receivers for UTEP. Deep in in front of Earl Thomas for a big gain. If we don’t get pressure we’re in trouble.
10:51
Brian –  Incidental facemasks are no longer penalties guys.
10:52
Brian –  What is Jared Norton doing? He’s not rushing the passer but not watching the QB or in zone either. He’s manned up on RB but if he’s not in a route, do something other than stand there.
10:53
Brian –  That’s intentional grounding. That didn’t reach the LOS.
10:54
Brian –  I’m still shocked that only Gideon and Thomas are playing at safety. it’s not like they’ve been perfect back there.
10:55
Brian –  Earl Thomas is supposed to have been most impressive safety in practice, but honestly it seems like every completed pass is in front of him. I’d love to know what the responsibilites are supposed to be on those plays.
10:55
Brian –  Texas 28, UTEP 13
10:56
Brian –  They can’t cover us. Let’s go for points.
10:58
Brian –  Colt needs to know the clock situation and either throw it deep or call timeout quickly after that play. End of the second quarter.
11:01
[Comment From P]
2nd half shutout here we come!

11:02
rjb28 –  Texas rushes 5 or 6 on every play that drice
11:19
Brian –  Second Half
11:21
Brian –  McGee and the line really moved the pile on that play. 2nd and 3 and McGee was hit near the LOS and the whole pile moved another 5 yards down the field.
11:22
[Comment From P]
Are we dinking and dunking our passes because were playin utep or because that’s what we do?
11:24
Brian –  @P: We’ve gone deep plenty including right there. The short passes have gotten about 10 yards per completion so it’s kind of hard to complain about that. And we went deep again. Colt is currently averaging over 13 yards per completion.
11:25
Brian –  Coaches went back to Whittaker again already. Definitely looks like Davis/Major Applewhite have a lot of faith in him.
11:25
Brian –  First 3rd and long in a while. Let’s see if Colt can convert.
11:26
Brian –  Crap. Freshmen. Dan Buckner doesn’t get off the bump coverage well and McCoy throws it right to the DB. UTEP football at the 20.
11:28
Brian –  Defensive linemen need to get their hands up during the pass rush. UTEP QB is doing good job tossing the ball over them on screens etc and if they get their hands up earlier they’d knock some of these down.
11:30
Brian –  And another missed sack. Jiminy Christmas guys go get the freaking QB.
11:30
Brian –  Need a 3rd down stop here.
11:31
Brian –  Nice athletic effor by Kindle gets the QB before he can run for first down. 4th and 3.
11:32
Brian –  9:05 remaining third quarter.
11:34
Brian –  Chiles in. Looks like we put him in double pass position on almost every snap he’s in there.
11:35
Brian –  Let’s see a replay. That sure looked like it hit right on the turf.
11:35
Brian –  Holy crap. That ball hit the ground 3 or 4 times. That’s god awful officiating. Why does the damn replay call take so long????
11:37
Brian –  No this isn’t a great thing about instant replay. This is the problem with it, it gives the officials an excuse to be terrible and mtake the easy way out hoping replay bails them out. There’s no reason that play should ever have required a replay.
11:38
Brian –  It’ll be 3rd and long after the replay review. Threw a costly INT on the last 3rd down, hopefully the offense can pick this one up and get the first points of the half on the board.
11:38
Brian –  I’m confused, why would KFC not use their original recipe on their chicken strips before? Why is that a new thing?
11:40
[Comment From P]
Hahaha
11:42
Brian –  McCoy had more time in the pocket than he though. He sticks it out for another half a second and he might find someone open. Texas max protected and only 3 WR’s in the pattern.
11:43
Brian –  That’s either a nitpick or a bad call. Just replayed it and unless they consider the tackles too far off then Texas had 7 on the line.
11:45
Brian –  7:40 remaining third quarter.
11:47
Brian –  Get up Roy. This is the position we can’t afford injuries at. Come on man. Made a great play and hasn’t gotten up yet. Might be a shot to the groin.
11:48
Brian –  Another 3rd and long. Horns need a stop or even better a turnover. Neither team is really doinganything yet this half, turnover would mean big momentum change.
11:49
Brian –  UTEP QB threw great looking pass but right off the WR’s hands it looked like. Punt time.
11:50
Brian –  6:49 remaining third quarter.
11:51
Brian –  More Fozzy. THink he might get the start next week? Is McGee 100%? He only has like 3 carries tonight. Whittaker is looking good.
11:53
Brian –  McGee sure runs hard. Hold onto the ball though don’t let them knock it loose while struggling for yards.
11:53
Brian –  Texas went with quick snap but we don’t get the blocks and they stop McGee short.
11:54
Brian –  3:47 remaining third quarter.
11:54
Brian –  I’m not sure whether UTEP would claim Tim Hardaway anymore.
11:55
Brian –  Good coverage by Deon Beasley but great catch by WR. Big play for UTEP.
11:57
Brian –  How many times tonight is the announcer going to say “littered with upsets”?
11:57
Brian –  Another screen but Beasley and Norton are there for the stop.
11:58
Brian –  Finally a sack. FINALLY! Brian Orakpo takes down the UTEP QB.
11:58
Brian –  Break for Texas. Should have been working from our own 1 yard line but instead it’s a touchback.
11:59
Brian –  Fozzy Whittaker has been running the ball real well but we haven’t tried to run with it consistently.
12:00
Brian –  McCoy is staring down his WR when we’re in 5 wide. He knows the blitz is coming and is sticking with his first option even if he has time.
12:01
Brian –  And fianlly there’s Fozzy. 15 yard run and could have been more if he had cut inside instead of towards sideline on his last move.
12:02
Brian –  McCoy has not been sharp this half. Another pass nosedives into the ground well short of the receiver.
12:02
Brian –  Fourth Quarter
12:05
Brian –  This is way too late to start a game. It is past my bed time, we need to score 30 quick points so I wake up.
12:08
Brian –  Free play and McCoy tries to go deep but underthrows it. Offsides means free first down. Big penalty.
12:09
Brian –  ANother first down via penalty. A little touchy call but he definitely had his hands all over Cosby.
12:10
Brian –  Wow Michael Huey got his butt kicked big time. UTEP DT ran right through him. Loss of 4 for Texas.
12:10
Brian –  Texas uses their second timeout.
12:13
rjb28 –  Ever seen taht play before
12:14
Brian –  Touchdown Jordan Shipley!! Great play call by Greg Davis. Fake the WR screen and Shipley is all alone for the TD. Play works every time and at every level. That’s about the only pass I could complete in my days as a HS JV quarterback.
12:14
Brian –  Texas 35, UTEP 13
12:18
Brian –  Well that’s quite the turn of events… touchdown Rod Muckelroy!! Sam Acho strips it and Muck scoops and scores. I’m suddenly a lot more awake. What did I ask for? 30 quick points? 14 in 10 seconds isn’t bad either.
12:18
Brian –  Texas 42, UTEP 13
12:18
Brian –  13:22 remaining in 4th quarter.
12:19
Brian –  Is it pronounced Mus-champ or Mus-camp? I always said it Mus-champ.
12:19 [Poll] How do you say Muschamp? View
12:21
Brian –  Kheeston Randall getting what may be his first playing time right now. Looks like we’re playing a lot of backups on defense. This game is far from over, can we beat them down a little more and play a little better before calling off the dogs?
12:24
Brian –  Gideon beat in man-to-man coverage. Had his eyes in the backfield and bit on a little shimmy before an out route. Big gain for UTEP.
12:25
Brian –  If we’re playing other backups, whhy aren’t we playing Ben WElls, Christian Scott or Nolan Brewster.
12:25
[Comment From P]
I vote mud-champ. 42 points never felt so weird
12:26
Brian –  Ryan Palmer doesn’t wrap up but Eddie Jones cleans up big time. Another good gain for UTEP though as they’re threating to score again.
12:26
[Comment From P]
“mus-champ”
12:27
Brian –  ESPN has missed every single penalty announcement tonight. They alled holding on UTEP but they didn’t show the ref and the announcers ignored it.
12:27
Brian –  Palmer can’t catch yet may have just got his second interception of the year. Probably going to be reviewed.
12:30
Brian –  Going to Buffalo Wild Wings for Titans game tomorrow actually. Decided NFL Sunday Ticket was too rich for my blood this year and can see every game there anyways.
12:30
Brian –  Not sure of the college rule but in the NFL the ball can touch the ground as long it’s under control. That one is probably going to be incomplete though. Yep. UTEP football still.
12:32
Brian –  Fantastic pressure on 3rd and long from Orakpo, Kindle, and Miller. Orakpo and Kindle get the sack. Kindle lined up as DE on that play.
12:34
Brian –  Backup offense time. John Chiles in at QB and Cody Johnson in at RB among others. Please Greg, run the full offense for John so he can learn and get better.
12:34
Brian –  8:47 remaining in fourth quarter.
12:37
Brian –  Running out the clock now. Taking delay of game penalties on purpose.
12:37
Brian –  Whoa. Great punt for John Gold. Super high and bounces out of bounds inside the 10.
12:38
Brian –  6:29 remaining in fourth quarter.
12:38
Brian –  Will Muschamp may murder one of these young backups if they dont get lined up faster.
12:43
Brian –  What in the world is that guy wearing? Yikes. Like part sumo and part friar.
12:44
Brian –  Haha. That’s a sad sign on the state of the Texas A&M program when you claim beating New Mexico is a big win.
12:45
Brian –  Is he talking about defense this year or last year? Oklahoma gave up like 30 yards last week I have to assume that’s a top 10 defense this sesaon.
12:46
Brian –  Come on defense. No points to end the game.
12:48
Brian –  Games should not end at midnight local time. This sucks.
12:49
Brian –  I think the UTEP water girl just put the water bottle in her mouth to drink. That’s disgusting. She should know better than anyone how to drink out of those things from about 3 inches away.
12:50
Brian –  Defense steps up and keeps them out of the end zone. Texas ball with 46 seconds to go.
12:51
Brian –  And a Chiles run ends the ball game.
12:51
Brian –  Final Score: Texas 42, UTEP 13
12:54
