Lousy punt by Rice gives #ut the ball at the 31 [via Twitter]

Bergeron into the game. two straight incomplete passes makes it third and 10 for #ut [via Twitter]

Damn @aTrubow is way faster tweeting than my LHN feed is on FiOS. Gotta not look at Twitter. #UT [via Twitter]

Two straight passes bounce off Mike Davis’ hands/chest. Not a good sign for the offense. #UT [via Twitter]

fumble by Rice on the punt and #ut takes over. #hookem #horns Huge break [via Twitter]

#horns have the ball on the Rice 20 after the fumbled punt. First turnover of the season. #ut #hookem [via Twitter]

@kylemcelligott Those 3 were all balls that should be caught. [via Twitter]

David Ash into the game at QB. #ut #horns [via Twitter]

David Ash is in. Is this regular rotation? Package of plays? QB change? #UT #hookem [via Twitter]

Shipley and Whittaker have received the past two snaps. First D.J. monroe sighting puts the ball at the Rice 4. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

After three straight incompletions by Gilbert, Texas punts but recovers fumbled punt at Rice 20. [via Twitter]

Whittaker next To Cody Johnson in the wildcat. David Ash out at wide receiver on the play. [via Twitter]

Razzle meets dazzle. Whittaker takes a snap out of Wildcat for 6 yards, then Jaxon Shipley takes snap, hands to Foz, who gives to Monroe. [via Twitter]

Now Shipley in at QB with a reverse to DJ Monroe? WOOOOHOOOO! #UT #40 [via Twitter]

David Ash into the game. Have to assume he’s going to play a part in the offense this year, or else #horns blew a QB redshirt year again. [via Twitter]

@MichaelLetts That’s the problem. YOu ignore great deep pass by Gilbert and the fact that he threw 3 balls that should have been caught. [via Twitter]

#horns with their first TD of the season. Cody Johnson from the 1. 9-3 #ut after the touchdown [via Twitter]

@kylemcelligott it was thrown in tight spot and bounced off White’s hands. Not great throw but we need WRs to help out ANY of 3 QBs. [via Twitter]

Cody Johnson bulls over for the touchdown from the 1. Who said Texas doesn’t have a run game? 10-3 Horns. [via Twitter]

10-3 Texas after the Cody Johnson touchdown. Lots of trickery on that 20-yard drive. #horns #hookem #ut [via Twitter]

I like the Ash-D.J. Monroe combo platter.Nice little wrinkle. DJ ran for 6 there. [via Twitter]

Ash and Monroe hook up for a two-yard pass-catch. Third and 2. [via Twitter]

GIlbert had that nice long pass, but Ash looks better on the short passes after his first one. Just saying. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Not surprised by ESPN commentators lack of knowledge about #UT QB situation. This is clearly a David Ash/MOnroe package. #UT [via Twitter]

Ash was in earlier and the @LonghornNetwork / ESPN guys didn’t notice. #UT [via Twitter]

Gilbert putting on a show. Avoids the sack and completes a 10-yarder to Darius White. Horns at Rice 20. [via Twitter]

Can’t help but wonder what ‘backup’ QB Case McCoy is thinking with all of this Ash-tivity. [via Twitter]

Boy Shipley is fast. He took the ball on the end around and almost scored. Stepped out of bounds after a 12-yard gain. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Jaxon Shipley stepped out of bounds at the 8-yard line. Picked up 12 yards. Premature cannon in south end zone. No TD. #Horns. [via Twitter]

Jaxon Shipley for 12 yards on an end-around. He’s tons faster than his brother. [via Twitter]

Jaxon Shipley first career touch comes on WR end around. BARELY stepped out of bounds or he had a TD. #UT [via Twitter]

Damn Jaxon Shipley is fast. #ut #horns #Hookem [via Twitter]

Gilbert can’t put the offense in the end zone. 4th down. #ut will have to settle for a field goal attempt. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

Bad series for Gilbert. Couple bad throws and then should have used timeout when 2 men in motion on 3rd and goal. #UT #hookem [via Twitter]

That is, uh, 13 unanswered points for your Longhorns, who are on fire. [via Twitter]

Gilbert is up and down today. Has had a couple of great throws and a few missed throws. He certainly needs to be more accurate. #ut #horns [via Twitter]

ESPN announcer not just uninformed bout #UT QBs but also on how redshirting works. Unless Ash gets hurt, he can no longer redshirt. [via Twitter]

Check that: Peterson is a RB. [via Twitter]

Rice looks to have another first down running the ball up the middle. #ut #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

McHargue incomplete to Wilson. Rice attempting a 49-yard FG with 61 seconds left in the half. [via Twitter]

That was a nice touch pass on a screen to Fozzy. 15-yard gain for Gilbert and Whittaker. #horns #hookem [via Twitter]

First successful RB screen play since the Brett Robin era for the Horns. #UT [via Twitter]

Gilbert to Fozzy Whittaker for 15. Screen passes will loosen up this Rice defense.#Longhorns #hookem [via Twitter]

RT @LonghornDigest: Miles Onyegbule into the ball game on that short pass to Shipley. Flags. [via Twitter]

Jaxon Shipley’s first career completion is an abomination of a WR screen attempt. Eeek. Penalty negates play. #UT [via Twitter]

GIlbert gets caught from behind. Third and 5 at their own 35 with :22 left in the half. #hookem #horns #ut [via Twitter]

More than any pass. The 2 illegal shift penalties and that tackle for 0 yard run by Gilbert make me very worried for the season. #UT [via Twitter]

#horns throw a short pass on third down short of the sticks. That’s the end of the half. #ut leads 13-6. #hookem [via Twitter]

Horns up 13-6 at the half. [via Twitter]

Texas fans would be crucifying Greg Davis after a 13-point first half against Rice. Bryan Harsin, probably not so much. [via Twitter]

@livingnearshamu Nope. Whats your guess. [via Twitter]

Have the Longhorns attempted any passes more than 8 yards down field other than completion to Davis? #UT [via Twitter]

@bomani_jones Maybe they don’t want to burn two freshman redshirts in one night. Surprised he hasn’t played. [via Twitter]

@s_keller At this point, I’m not sure. [via Twitter]

Last summer, it was OU tied to Texas’ hip. This year, it sure appears Texas is about to be tied to OU’s hip – in Pac-12. #hookem #longhorns [via Twitter]

Gilbert tried to hook up with Davis again on the long one. This was a bit too long. Third and 7. [via Twitter]

This Shipley kids runs good routes and has great hands. Sounds familiar. 18-yard completion. [via Twitter]

2 plays in a row with legit time to throw and deeper passes by Gilbert. #UT [via Twitter]
