HUH?
By Danny Reagan / Abilene, Texas
FINALly: Everything seemed to calm down in the second half. 31-10. That's more like it.
Colt finished 25-of-34 for 292 yards, one TD and two picks. He also had 48 yards on the ground on 10 carries.
The Horns had to fight for this win from a group of Bears who played like they were tired of losing.
I guess after all the emotion of last week, there was a chance for a game like this for the Horns, but a W is a W ... and a very important W at this time of the year.
At Halftime: I'm not one of the lucky (?) ones who has Versus (?) on his Dish Network, so I don't know what the heck is going on in the game except for the spotty GameCast on ESPN.
While I wait for the Texas Tech/Missouri game to start on a real channel this afternoon, I wonder why Texas is having so much trouble in the first half against those Baylor Bears, only leading 10-7.
I wonder why true freshman Earl Thomas (a cornerback?) has thrown 11 passes for Texas, and why FIVE different people have put one in the air for the Longhorns.
By intermission, Colt McCoy was having an OK day - 14-of-20 for 147 yards for one TD (a 23-yard strike to Nate Jones pictured in the AP photo) and a pick. He's also rushed for 40 yards on five carries.
UT probably needs to concentrate on winning the game before doing a bunch of experimenting with what I can only guess from this distance is offensive "wrinkles" for future games.
