atrubow: Let’s get this twitter party started. Can you feel the excitement for this #UT game against UTEP. Wait. Not excitement. It’s gas. |
|
|
2:29

Brian: Kansas is not playing well today. Nobody really well. LSU, Michigan, and of course Florida State all struggling. |

atrubow: Tre Newton on the touchdown. Prediction: This game will solidify that he will be starting running back the rest of the year #ut #horns |

40acressports: Miss St ca’t get ball in on 1st and goal at 3 against LSU. Touchdown would have likely won it for MSU. |

40acressports: UTEP player nails Shipley before punt gets there. 15 extra yards for #UT. If Horns score again, maybe no more Shipley on returns today? |

atrubow: It’s OK. According to the #ut SIDs, the first half doesn’t count. #horns |
|
|
2:55
|
|
40acressports: Whoops. Colt McCoy’s slow starts continue. Pick 6. #UT 7, UTEP 7 |
|
|
2:56
|
 |
insidetexas: McCoy throws into coverage on a hook to Shipley, ball returned for a TD by UTEP. Tied up 7-7. #ut |
|
|
2:56
|
|
suzhalliburton: And that’s a pick six for colt mccoy, his fifth int of season. Game is tied. #ut |
|
|
2:56

stevehabel: On second thought…Miners’ Stephenson has back to back big plays — one illegal and one not. INT return make in 7-7. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
2:57
|
|
atrubow: Most people think I’m wrong, but I think between rushing touchdowns and five interceptions already, McCoy is a Heisman long shot. #ut #horns |
|
|
2:59
|
|
jfoster640: Colt McCoy looks NOTHING like a Heisman candidate right now. Pick 6. Game tied at 7. This is the Colt of 2007. #ut #40 |
|
|
3:00
|
|
suzhalliburton: My official analysis, dj monroe is fast. That’s a 91_yd return for touchdown. His 2nd score this season. |
|
|
3:01
|
|
40acressports: Also like that true frosh trackster Marquise Goodwin was the other returner back. That’s a lot of speed back there. #UT #40 |

jfoster640: And as quick as you can blink…Texas takes the Kick-off for a touchdown! 13-6 Horns! #ut #40 |

stevehabel: Can’t kick to DJ Monroe — 91-yrd TD on KOR. Then Lawrece missed PAT… weird game so far. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
3:01
|
|
insidetexas: For the record, there are now more total points than total yards of offense in this game. |
|
|
3:02
|
|
insidetexas: Kenny Vaccaro limps off the field, favoring his knee, following that kickoff. |
|
|
3:04
|
|
suzhalliburton: Monroe is first #ut player to return 2 kicks for scores in a career, much less in his first 4 games. |
|
|
3:05
|
|
40acressports: Wow. Ref really needs to work on hand signals. Personal foul call and everything about it looks awkward. #UT #40 |
|
|
3:05

marshallboone: I think we killed their punter #40 |
|

3:05

atrubow: Just kick it out of the end zone. Punters never learn. Hello Malcolm Williams. #ut #horns |
|
|
3:06
|
|
insidetexas: Punter got punished by Malcolm Williams for not just taking the safety. |
|

3:06

suzhalliburton: Utep punter isn’t bright. Malcolm williams lit him up on near block in end zone. #ut about to score |

|
40acressports: If you remember last year’s game, UTEP had deep snap problems and that resulted in a shot to the nuts. Video: http://bit.ly/66xTP #UT |

|
atrubow: Boos against UTEP for not going for it on fourth down. C’mon #ut fans, aren’t you a little better than that. #horns |
|
|
3:07
|
Brian: Longhorns get the ball at 5 yard line but can’t do anything with it. Have to settle for the field goal to make the score Texas 16, UTEP 7 |
|
3:08
|
|
insidetexas: Fans booing, but this field goal is a good call. With the missed extra point got to make it two scores. |
|

Brian: Buckner looked like he was getting ready to stretch ball out to end zone. Too bad he was on 5 yard line. Better be little more careful with that football. |

jfoster640: @40acressports Nice to see a little more press-coverage from the #ut DB’s. Although UTEP is harding Texas Tech. #40 |

atrubow: #ut has most of its second-team offense on the field right now. #horns |

suzhalliburton: Mix of second teamers in on #ut o-line. Big boys get hot |
|
|
3:42
|

atrubow: Is there any doubt Colt McCoy is better when he’s on the run? No. That’s why you don’t tell him not to run. #ut #horns |
|
|
3:42
|
|
stevehabel: TXas defense continues to dominate. UTEP has just 16 total yards on 19 snaps, and zero yrds on the ground. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
3:43
|
|
insidetexas: Lots of rotation at OL. Snow, Allen, Huey and Mitchell in the game with Ulatoski still at LT |
|
|
3:44
|
|
40acressports: Colt McCoy and I have one thing in common: We both really miss Quan Cosby. (Another drop by #UT WR.) |
|
|
3:48
|
|
40acressports: #UT running game still really struggling to get anything going. Tre Newton not a panacea for all running game ills. Need blocking. #UT #40 |
|
|
3:51
|
|
40acressports: Not a big fan of Chiles QB package when #UT has it inside 10 yard line. Horns much better off giving Colt 3 shots at endzone. #40 |
|
|
3:52
|
Brian: At least Jordan Shipley can still catch. McCoy puts ball on his back shoulder and he falls into the endzone for the score. |
|
3:53
|
Brian: Play was close and is being reviewed. Might have been just short but not sure how you could overrule call on the field. |
|
3:53
|
|
atrubow: #ut defense hasn’t even given up 16 yards so far, and we’ve got 7 minutes left in the first half. #horns |
|
|
3:53
|
|
suzhalliburton: That touchdown catch to shipley is under review. Think it’s about spot. Ruling on field stands |
|
|
3:54
|
Brian: Play stands. Touchdown Texas! |
|
3:54
|
|
insidetexas: Touchdown Shipley. Texas had two fourth down conversions on the drive. PAT good, 33-7 Texas. |
|
|
3:54
|
Brian: Texas 33, UTEP 7 |
|
3:55
|
|
suzhalliburton: Off the top of my head, I think that’s the longest drive of year (88 yards, 15 plays). Looks like last season’s offense #ut |
|
|
3:55
|
|
stevehabel: Tex looks like machine on long TD drive. McCoy to Shipley is like shooting fish in a barrel. Great back shoulder throw. #ut #horns #hookem |

[Comment From Wally]
How do the horns look today |
|
3:59
|
|
suzhalliburton: Mccoy’s first half so far – 17-23 for 210 yds, 2 tds. He’s also taken pity on utep with a pick 6. #ut |
|
|
4:00
|
Brian: @Wally: Another slow start by the offense but rolling now. Just had a nice long TD drive including a TD pass from McCoy to Shipley. Defense has been lights from opening kickoff. |
|
4:01
|
|
atrubow: Donald Buckram, the UTEP running back, was impressive when he played at Copperas Cove. #ut #horns |
|
|
4:01
|
|
stevehabel: TEX looks so much better than the teams I saw the past two nights in the Ole Miss/SC game and the Nev/Missou affair. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
4:03
|
|
stevehabel: UT has just 29 yrds rushing in the first 24 minutes against a team tha is one of the worst against the run in the nation. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
4:04
|
 |
johnwessling: Ok #UT it’s time to stop beating up UTEP and time to start drinking with them!! Be nice to the Miners, they have to live in El Paso! #40 |
|
|
4:06
|
|
insidetexas: UTEP: 0-for-6 on third downs. 21 total yards. Need to say again how great this Texas D is. |
|
|
4:08
|
|
atrubow: Colt again is going to end up with 350 yards passing and three/four touchdowns. I think I’m too hard on him. #ut #horns |
|
|
4:08
|
|
atrubow: Then again, it’s utep. #ut #horns |
|
|
4:10
|

atrubow: A Vondrell sighting. He ran the ball well for a wide receiver. #ut #horns |
|
|
4:11

|
insidetexas: Vondrell McGee bursts through the UTEP D for a touchdown. Texas now leads 40-7 with 2:45 to go in the first half. #ut |
|
|
4:11
|
|
40acressports: Option to Vondrell McGee and he runs hard right through a few tackles for touchdown. #UT now up big, 40 -7 |

suzhalliburton: Congrats to my sister holly who just won fan of game. Saw her on jumbotron. #ut |

suzhalliburton: Team dr is talking to him RT @rafiqelarculli: think Sergio sustained shoulder injury last drive. he’s got crew of trainers around him |
|
|
4:15
|
Brian: Not sure why we’re still seeing Jordan Shipley returning punts. Up 33, would rather work on offensive 2 minute drill than Ship punt return.
|
|
4:16
|
|
40acressports: Another great return by Shipley, but I’d rather seen #UT offense work on 2 minute drill. |
|
|
4:17
|
|
40acressports: (And yes, I am clearly a spoiled #UT fan complaining about HOW coaches score.) |
|
|
4:17
|

atrubow: Buckner is officially the second-best receiver for #ut. Actually, it might not even be close. Where has Kirkendoll gone? #horns |
|
|
4:18
|
|
40acressports: Dan Buckner again! Love see him running down the seam, that’s impossible to cover every play. Touchdown #UT! Texas leads 47-7 |
|
|
4:18
|
|
atrubow: That was a one-hander by Buckner. #ut #horns |
|

4:19

Iam_TheStar: Am I supposed to be excited about this game? Cause Im not! That’s mean ain’t it but I dnt care!! Just have a good game #40! |
|
|
4:19
|
|
stevehabel: McCoy of old is back with spot-perfect passes against an overmatched opponent. Throw to Buckner was prime, UT leads 47-7. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
4:20
|
|
insidetexas: Buckner with an impressive one-hand grab for the TD. Texas now up 47-7. Something tells me Garrett Gilbert is gonna get some playing time. |
|
|
4:20
|
|
atrubow: The crowd has pretty much left this #ut UTEP game. And I’m jealous. #horns |
|
|
4:22
|
|
atrubow: Thomas with his second interception (that one looked like a reception) of the day. #ut #horns |
|
|
4:22
|
|
40acressports: 2nd interception by Earl Thomas would have been another score for #UT but he barely steps out of bounds. Texas going for more at 50 yd line? |
|
|
4:23
|
|
stevehabel: Thomas having a huge half — 2 INTs, the second could have gone back for a TD if he could have stayed in bounds. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
4:25
|
|
atrubow: field-goal range for the rest of the season … 53 and a half yards. #ut #horns |
|
|
4:26
|
|
40acressports: Hunter Lawrence’s 54 yd field goal is 3 inches too short. Just a little further and that one wouldve given #UT 50 1st half points. |
|
|
4:26
|
|
suzhalliburton: Looks like sergio kindle is ok. He’s trotting off field. Trainers left him alone on the bench |
|
|
4:26
|
|
stevehabel: Well, at least the Horns know Larwrence’s range now — it’s 53 1/2 yards as 54-yrd attempt hits crossbar and bounds back. #ut #horns #hookem |
|
|
4:27
|
|
insidetexas: Lawrence hits the crossbar, comes within two inches of hitting a 54 yard FG. Halftime. 47-7 #ut |
|
|
4:27
|
Brian: Halftime score: Texas 47, UTEP 7 |
|
4:28
|
|

suzhalliburton: Jeremy Hills is broken. He had a fabulous run, then fumbled it into the end zone. A UTEP writer just joked “that could be turning point.” |
|
|
5:47
|
|
stevehabel: Hills runs through gaping hole while juggling the ball, runs all the way to the UTEP 5 where he is hit by his own man… |
|

stevehabel: and fumbles again into the end zone for a touchback. Wildest play of the season so far…and it doesn;t matter. #ut #horns #hookem |
