It’s a hot one out here today in Austin. Probably not what BYU was hoping for. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

BYU brought a nice little crowd with them. Impressed. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Texas Longhorns taking the field. Kickoff just a few minutes away. #UT #hookem [via Twitter]

99 degrees at gametime between #ut and #BYU … #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Live game blog at http://bit.ly/ptYXq7 There will be more updates there than on Twitter if you’re interested. #UT #hookem [via Twitter]

Not a good choice by DJ Monroe to return that one. Fast guys always think they can make big plays. Can’ [via Twitter]

Not a smart return by D.J. Monroe as #ut will start from its 11 yard line. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

three-and-out to start the game for Texas. Not sure if Davis would have had the first down had he caught it. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

RT @AnnaMegan: Owls blocked the FG attempt and win it. Rice 24, Purdue 22 [via Twitter]

Texas offense doesn’t even give ESPN enough time to get the BYU defensive starters displayed. Not a good 3rd down try. #UT #hookem. [via Twitter]

Ole Miss killed BYU with the corner blitz last week. First play today on defense for the Longhorns…. corner blitz. Watch it. [via Twitter]

Surprised Byndom doesn’t come up with that ball. Instead it’s a first down for BYU in #ut territory. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Byndom goes for the interception instead of the breakup. Had great coverage but BYU is in Texas territory early. #UT [via Twitter]

Surprised Byndom didn’t come up with that ball vs. Apo. #hookem [via Twitter]

Diggs giving up a lot of cushion to Apo on the boundary. That’s respect. #hookem #longhorns [via Twitter]

Where is Adrian Philips right now for Texas. That’s a guy I expect to see on the field almost every down. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Nolan Brewster in at safety on that previous play. #UT [via Twitter]

Hicks with a great play to stop the run in the backfield. BYU facing another third down. This time 6 yards to go from #ut 13. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Another 3rd down. Can Texas D get the stop this time? #UT [via Twitter]

#ut holds and BYU will have to settle for a field goal attempt. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Big red-zone stop for the Texas defense. Giving up field goals is ok. Giving up touchdowns will get you beat. [via Twitter]

3-0 BYU after a nice drive for the Cougars. No the start the #horns were looking for. #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

I will be interested to see how this defense holds up over an evening of consistent pounding by the BYU running game. FG isn’t fatal.#horns [via Twitter]

This BYU kicker is putting the ball exactly where you want to on the kickoffs. Deep and in the corners. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Going no huddle trying to get offense started early. #UT [via Twitter]

There was no way Davis was going to catch that pass in bounds. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

We have our first boos after the second straight three-and-out for #ut … Not a good start. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

BYU with a great return and BYU is back in #ut territory after a 24-yard return. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

I think if Gilbert makes a better throw there it might be picked off. The WR wasnt open. #UT [via Twitter]

Two unimpressive series to start for Texas. And Diggs got blown up on the punt return. #hookem [via Twitter]

The Garrett Gilbert we’re seeing in the first quarter is the same Garrett Gilbert we saw last week in the first quarter. #badsigns [via Twitter]

BYU back inside the #ut 25 after a gain of 15. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Brewster in again. Is Adrian Phillips hurt? #UT [via Twitter]

#horns hold again inside the 20 and force another field-goal attempt. #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

@thehinsons Maybe. That’s going to cut into his reps. [via Twitter]

The Longhorns were 0 for 4 on interception opportunities last week and they are already 0 for 2 tonight. BYU leads 6-0. [via Twitter]

6-0 BYU. #horns haven’t given up a touchdown yet this season. #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

@PastorKEDSR Not long if this continues. #Horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Ten bucks says the Longhorns start this drive inside the 20. [via Twitter]

@AndeWall If Apo sticks with Texas, they don’t have Mike Davis. Apo’s decommit freed up that scholarship. [via Twitter]

Fozzy has about 5 yards rushing in 2 combined first quarters this season. It’s time to unleash No.28. [via Twitter]

Welcome back Marquise Goodwin. #UT #hookem [via Twitter]

Marquise Goodwin back in action. 24 kick return. [via Twitter]

@AndeWall Oh definitely. [via Twitter]

#horns line up with two tight ends and give to Fozzy for no gain. That’s not gonna work against this defense. #ut #hookem [via Twitter]

Or… just keep playing Fozzy… [via Twitter]

Malcolm Brown time? #UT [via Twitter]

No Malcolm Brown, yet. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Nobody open. Gilbert forced to scramble. Mike Davis ran his route right into coverage rather than finding hole in zone. #UT [via Twitter]

Gilbert gets picked on third and five. Stadium is about to come unglued. Uh oh. #Longhorns. [via Twitter]

Garrett Gilbert. Intercepted. Uh oh. #hookem #horns [via Twitter]

Shipley open for 1st down but Gilbert tries to squeeze it into Darius WHite. I think White was expecting White to work back to ball. #UT [via Twitter]

Desperately need a big defensive play to turn this team, crowd, and maybe this season around. #UT #hookem [via Twitter]

@MichaelLetts Not a defense. Just an attempted explanation. No excuse to not throw to wide open Ship. [via Twitter]

Defense forces a 3-and-out. Okafor almost with an interception. #horns force a punt. #ut #hookem #BYU [via Twitter]

Texas is now 0 for 3 on interception opportunities. Fellas, you have to be able to help yourself. [via Twitter]

BYU puts #ut inside the 5-yard line on a perfect punt. It’s downed at the 3. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Texas starts the next drive at their own 3. I believe they have had one drive start on the other side of their own 30 all season. [via Twitter]

@gkketch At least that last failed INT was by a DE. #moralvictories [via Twitter]

Great punt pushes #Texas back to its own 3. Everything going right for BYU. Where’s Malcolm Brown.#hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

Garrett Gilbert’s career might be on the line for the rest of this half. I just can’t believe Mack will go down on that ship again. [via Twitter]

RT @gkketch: Garrett Gilbert’s career might be on the line for the rest of this half. I just can’t believe Mack will go down on that shi … [via Twitter]

Brown into the game to a bunch of cheers. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

And Brown gives #ut its first first down of the game with a 13-yard run. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

I <3 Malcolm Brown. Yay for a first down! #UT [via Twitter]

That’s followed by an Ash run. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

David Ash/DJ Monroe package into the game now. #UT [via Twitter]

Ash with a nice screen pass and #horns are at the 50-yard line. SHipley with a nice block. Fozzy great hands and run [via Twitter]

Malcolm Brown comes in and runs for 13. Funny how that works out. [via Twitter]

Sorry, that was Monroe. Not Fozzy. [via Twitter]

The receiver doesn’t miss a step on those Ash screens. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

And Gilbert back out on the field. #ut #horns [via Twitter]

D.J. Monroe already getting more looks than he did in the Davis administration. #hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

Gilbert throws an interception on his first pass back. Wow. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

That might have just sealed Gilbert’s fate. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Train wreck. [via Twitter]

Either the beer man is missing or Garrett Gilbert isn’t very popular. #hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

Tons of time. Gilbert throws to double covered guy. Interception. #UT #poop [via Twitter]

Going to be hard for Garrett Gilbert to get any type of support on or off the field now. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

I hope my hashtags don’t get even swearier over the course of this game. #UT [via Twitter]

Does Jackson Jeffcoat let the offense outside of him on every play? Definitely something opposing teams have noticed? #UT [via Twitter]

BYU was pinned, and four plays later they’re almost to the 50. This is looking a lot like 2010 in all aspects. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Not as a quarterback. RT @McClain_on_NFL I wonder if the Longhorns tried to recruit Baylor QB RG3 [via Twitter]

That was one flat out ass kicking Texas took in the 1st quarter. It’s time to respond or else it gets worse from here. [via Twitter]

How long can #ut stick with Gilbet? In my opinion … every play from here on out is a mistake. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

RT @bomani_jones: hypothetically speaking, let’s say greg davis wasn’t the problem. i feel like i wasted my free time for 13 years. [via Twitter]

The play of the Texas safeties…. meh. [via Twitter]

I know no one actually saw last week’s game on LHN but that doesn’t mean ESPN can reuse the same Congress St Bridge bat footage. #UT [via Twitter]

I want to see more David Ash. #hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

Gilbert’s first quarter: 1-for-6 with two interceptions. Ash first quarter: 1-for-1 for 22 yards. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

@CedGolden And more Malcolm Brown [via Twitter]

RT @ChanceMock: I’m wondering why my leash want this long?! I’m done tweeting for the moment…. If you don’t have anything nice to say…. [via Twitter]

BYU receivers are finding the perfect holes in the #ut defense between the 20s. #horns have held Cougars out of the end zone so far. #hookem [via Twitter]

First and goal now for #BYU as the Cougars are at the 8. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

BYU tight ends wide open in the deep middle so far tonight. Where are the safeties? [via Twitter]

#Horns on their heels. Gideon whiffed on an arm tackle. This starting to resemble UCLA 2010.#hookem #longhorns #Horns [via Twitter]

Wide open. #BYU touchdown. #horns #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

BYU in firm control. Horns don’t have a lot of punch right now. Down 13-0 after giving up a 97-yard TD drive.#hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

Still 3 quarters to go. Great opportunity for the #UT coaches/players to show that this team is different than 2010. Otherwise… [via Twitter]

BYU is winning all aspects of this game right now, including the special teams. [via Twitter]

Gilbert is back out. ut #horns hookem [via Twitter]

Gilbert receives a rousing no-vation as he runs out.#hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

Cornerback was looking away but had a interception for a touchdown on another incomplete pass. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

@texaslippy hah. True. True [via Twitter]

Gilbert got lucky the BYU corner wasn’t looking up when that last pass was thrown. 6 points for the defense. Instead a 3 and out. #horns [via Twitter]

RT @KEYESportsBob: Case McCoy is warming up on the sideline, throwing with David Ash. #hookem #Horns [via Twitter]

Ash warming up with McCoy, it appears Case is getting ready to go in next possession. He’s stretching his arms like it. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Case McCoy is throwing meaningful passes on the sideline. I think we will see him next possession. #hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

I believe the Garrett Gilbert era has officially ended. Case McCoy is going to get his chance. It might be his only one. [via Twitter]

Vaccaro made that sack happen. He stood up a receiver at the line of scrimmage. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Huge sack by Ashton Dorsey. Texas needed that one. #UT [via Twitter]

It’s going to be McCoy. Case ready to take over the #ut offense. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

RT @aTrubow: It’s going to be McCoy. Case ready to take over the #ut offense. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

@HookEmFans I am totally naming all my future sons something that rhymes with Boo. Just in case. [via Twitter]

This says a lot. Seriously RT @ChanceMock: I’m wondering why my leash want this long?! I’m done tweeting for the moment…. [via Twitter]

@kmdasch BYU, due to their religious affiliation, has a lot of fans all over the country. Similar to Notre Dame. [via Twitter]

Going to be another 3 and out for #ut … #horns trail 13-0 with 5:30 left in the half. #hookem [via Twitter]

Put in Connor Brewer. What? Oh… crap. #UT [via Twitter]

McCoy in. Now Ash. Now an illegal substitution. What next? [via Twitter]

The Texas defense can only last so long in this heat with all of these three and outs. The dam will break if the offense can’t get going. [via Twitter]

McCoy probably would have had a first down had Harris not dropped McCoy’s first pass attempt. #ut #Horns #Hookem [via Twitter]

#ut comes up with an interception. that was thrown right to Phillips. #horns at the BYU 25. #hookem [via Twitter]

Garrett Gilbert just threw an interception for BYU. [via Twitter]

Ash is the quarterback now. They’re going to review the interception as BYU challenges. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Ruling on the field confirmed. #ut with the ball. this is the chance to turn the tide. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

That was an interception. Don’t screw us on this one replay dude. We need this one. #ut [via Twitter]

Ash runs for 9 yards on first down. He just looks more confident. Like him. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

@stlouis0 I’m actually taping it. Don’t need to know [via Twitter]

You are wrong. RT @ATXANT10 @gkketch No that was Heap who threw the interception. gilbert is on the bench [via Twitter]

@stlouis0 Doesn’t matter, I’m going to find out anyway. Part of the gig. I don’t have a choice [via Twitter]

#horns on the board after a field goal. It’s 13-3 BYU. #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

BYU has the ball with 1:30 left in the half. They get the ball first in the third quarter. Scary stretch coming up for the Longhorns. [via Twitter]

#horns stop BYU and then get a roughing the passer penalty. #2010. #ut #horns #Hookem [via Twitter]

Stupid penalties. Interceptions. What year is it again? #UT [via Twitter]

#ut trails #BYU 13-3 at the half. Not what Texas was looking for in its first real test of the season. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Suggesting that UT fans on Orangebloods right now are not happy is akin to suggesting that Miley Cyrus like to show just a little skin. [via Twitter]

@kbohls We just asked the wrong question. It never occurred to us that three was the magic number. #dumbreporters [via Twitter]

motto: Always protect the players. RT @utscott15: @aTrubow if you listen to Mack brown halftime interview, he seemed jolly and pleased #OhNo [via Twitter]

Will we Garrett Gilbert in the second half? I say no. #horns #hookem # longhorns [via Twitter]

I’m not sure what they’re doing with this platooning. RT @TXMcCoySanford: @aTrubow what a hot mess! Make a decision and support it! [via Twitter]

@KMACChuck Who knows? They changed faster than I thought possible on that last possession. [via Twitter]

Defense does its job. 3 and out for #BYU and the #horns should get the ball in decent field position. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Big three and out for the Texas defense to start the second half. Just what the doctor ordered. [via Twitter]

Case McCoy coming out. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

and now Ash. I ‘m confused. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Dear Bryan Harsin, D.J. Monroe is pretty good. [via Twitter]

Gilbert era may be over. McCoy in at QB.#hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

The offense just works with Ash. I don’t understand taking him out. ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

See. [via Twitter]

And now Ash back in the game. Rotation continues. So odd. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Ahem. [via Twitter]

Cody Johnson in for the touchdown. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Game on in Austin. [via Twitter]

Ash by the way, had a great block on the play before the touchdown, taking down two guys with a cut block to free up Monroe. #ut #horns [via Twitter]

Hard to tell if its DJ Monroe or Malcolm Brown..until you see the jets. Monroe has an extra gear. #Horns cut it to 13-10#Longhorns #hookem [via Twitter]

13-10 BYU afer #horns take their opening possession 62 yards for a touchdown. #ut #hookem [via Twitter]

13-10 BYU afer #horns take their opening possession of the second half 62 yards for a touchdown. #ut #hookem [via Twitter]

Touchdown Texas! That Malcolm Brown/DJ Monroe combo is pretty special looking. Not sure why we’ve waited until 2nd half to show it. #UT [via Twitter]

If you want to blog about the Horns. Hit me up with an email at brian@40acressports.com and we can talk. #UT #hookem [via Twitter]

That was a fumble by the BYU QB but no one on either team noticed it. #UT [via Twitter]

@sleepynewmommy That’s not funny or helpfup. You should be ashamed of yourself. [via Twitter]

Penalties are killing #ut right now. That gives BYU another first down. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

There’s no question which of these two teams plays smarter and is more disciplined. Yikes. [via Twitter]

The BYU offensive coordinator deserves some credit. Cougars calling a smart offense. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Byndom with a nice tackle on third down to prevent the first down. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

HUGE open field tackle by Carrington Byndom. Great play. #YT [via Twitter]

16-10 BYU after the field goal. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Nice response by BYU to get three after #Texas TD. Now back to musical quarterbacks. #hookem #longhorns #horns [via Twitter]

Hopefully you don’t have to juke kickers in the Olympic long jump. (ZING! Kidding. Great return by Maquise!) #UT [via Twitter]

Ash and McCoy have rushed for 300 plus yards to the sideline between plays. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

@stlouis0 I’m sure it’s a great atmosphere [via Twitter]

Hold the Ash party. Running three straight plays hasn’t been the bread and butter at #ut in a long while. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Not sure Ash made the right read on any of those 3 keeps. Not much room to run. Def should have pitched it there on 3rd down. #UT [via Twitter]

@stlouis0 Wisconsin is the best atmosphere in the area. Ohio State is an experience. Mich-ND are both OK. [via Twitter]

Calling it. If David Ash is in there now it’ll be a pooch punt. #UT [via Twitter]

@JasonMKates 1st one maybe. No room on either. 2nd one (at first glance) should’ve been a give. When both are covered, give it to RB. [via Twitter]

@JasonMKates Not sure what that has to do with it? My point is, if both reads are covered then give it to the guy whose job it is to run. [via Twitter]

As funny as it sounds, if Texas can win this game, I think it’ll be one of the best wins in Mack’s time at UT. [via Twitter]

Zero push by the offensive line. #UT [via Twitter]

#horns short on a fourth-down run and BYU takes over. #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

@JasonMKates Gotcha. That was a prediction based on Ash’s punting ability. Not a recommendation. [via Twitter]

#ut defense looks good. #horns still trail 16-10 with 12:18 left in the game. #hookem [via Twitter]

Manny Diaz’s boys can hold their head up high tonight. They’ve battled. [via Twitter]

Texas has the ball at its own 48 with 12:04 left in the game. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Dangerous pass. McCoy hits Shipley for the first down between three defenders. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

McCoy to Shipley for 14 yards. Heard that one before… #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Jaxon Shipley is friggin’ nails. #UT [via Twitter]

Jaxon Shipley is the truth. [via Twitter]

Cody Johnson with a touchdown. #ut could take its first lead of the game with the extra point. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Apparently @kbohls must have been in the ESPN announcers’ ears. Claiming this team has been veiled in secrecy. #UT [via Twitter]

17-16 #ut leads. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Cody Johnson in from 4 yards out!!!! #UT leads! Hot damn! Play 10 quarterbacks if 2 works thi well. #hookem [via Twitter]

Can I? RT @JasonStoddard do you want to amend your guess on Browns’ rushing yards this year? [via Twitter]

Darius White has to do a better job catching the football. He’s a monster with the ball in his hands but he has to catch it first. #UT [via Twitter]

Quandre Diggs with the pick! #UT defense comes up big again. !UT [via Twitter]

@tylerjameslee How bout Quentin Jammer’s momma!? Her too! [via Twitter]

It’s pretty simple for Case McCoy. Get a first down here and you start next week in L.A. [via Twitter]
