				<description><![CDATA[AUSTIN, Texas (Ticker) -- Texas picked up where it left off 
before Hurricane Ike ravaged the Gulf Coast last weekend.

Colt McCoy threw for 329 yards and four touchdowns, setting a 
school record, as the seventh-ranked Longhorns toppled Rice, 
52-10, on Saturday.

"Offensively, I think you have to start with Colt," Texas head 
coach Mack Brown said.  "He was hot when he went out there and 
he's continued to play the same way.  He broke the all-time 
record set by Major (Applewhite).  He broke a very impressive 
record at a very young age.  He still continues to take care of 
the football and move the ball."

Texas (3-0) was scheduled to host Arkansas in Austin last 
Saturday, but the game was postponed due to severe weather.  
Though recovery from the storm will continue, the Longhorns 
continued their strong start, as they have  outscored the 
opposition, 149-33, through three games.

"Give credit again to Rice, they had a great plan and they did a
great job," Brown said.  "And, give our kids credit because it's
been a very unusual two weeks.  They were excited about last 
week and did not end up playing.  Many of their homes were 
affected like the Rice kids, and they still came out and played 
hard tonight.  I'm really pleased with the win."

McCoy also ran for 83 yards and a score on 10 carries, while 
Jordan Shipley had five receptions for 155 yards and two scores 
for the Longhorns, who notched their 10th straight win over the 
Owls.

Rice (2-2) was paced by Chase Clement, who completed 25-of-38 
passes for 254 yards and one score.

"I'm proud of this football team," Rice head coach David Bailiff
said.  "I thought we came out and played extremely hard against 
the seventh-ranked team in the country, and at times we 
performed very well.  Offensively, we moved the football up and 
down.

"Our special teams was much improved from a week ago.  
Defensively, as we get people back, we'll be fine.  That is a 
good football team that we played tonight, and I'm extremely 
proud of the Rice Owls and how hard they played given what 
they've been through."

The Owls were off to a good start, getting a 31-yard field goal 
from Clark Fangmeier with 7:47 left in the first quarter.

But that triggered McCoy's onslaught.

Supported by an 8-yard rushing score and three TD passes by 
McCoy, Texas scored 31 unanswered points.  McCoy and Shipley 
connected on back-to-back scoring strikes of 30 and 60 yards 
within a four-minute span to increase the Longhorns' advantage 
to 21-3 in the second.

"Jordan is a heck of a receiver and he has a really excellent 
double move," Brown said.  "The first touchdown, he had a 
stutter route and he worked on the linebacker.  He's an 
excellent receiver and he's a guy we want to double move with 
most of the time."

McCoy's 5-yard scoring toss to Quan Cosby in the third broke the
previous record of 60 set by Major Applewhite from 1998-2001.  
Applewhite is now the Longhorns' running backs coach.

"I thank God for giving me the ability and the opportunity," 
McCoy said.  "Major (Applewhite) is a great quarterback. Guys 
who come to school here always know about Major and Vince 
(Young).  To be up there with those guys, it's a big honor.  
This is a reflection on the players and the coaches."

The Longhorns are 38-1 against Rice since 1966 and improved to 
69-21-1 in the all-time series, which dates to 1914.]]></description>

				<title><![CDATA[Texas returns from hiatus to host Rice]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[Rice (2-1) at No. 7 Texas (2-0), 7:00 pm EDT

AUSTIN, Texas (Ticker) -- Texas was forced to postpone last 
week's game against Arkansas due to the threat of Hurricane Ike,
which ravaged the Galveston and Houston areas on Saturday.

Now it is back to work for the seventh-ranked Longhorns, who 
continue their non-conference slate Saturday when they host 
Rice, their second straight game against an opponent from 
Conference USA.

Texas (2-0) has not played since posting a 42-13 victory at 
Texas-El Paso on September 6.  Colt McCoy passed for 282 yards 
and four touchdowns for the Longhorns.

McCoy won his 22nd game at Texas, tying current assistant coach 
and former Longhorn quarterback Major Applewhite for seventh on 
the school's all-time list.

Since the school is located in Houston, Rice was affected more 
by Hurricane Ike than Texas and was forced to stay in Nashville 
following Saturday's 38-21 loss to Vanderbilt.  The Owls finally
returned home Monday afternoon.

Rice's defense may be suspect, but the Owls (2-1) have had no 
trouble moving the ball, averaging 40 points and 430 yards per 
game.  In a 42-35 victory over Memphis two weeks ago, James 
Casey caught 11 passes for a school--record 208 yards.

In the same game, Chase Clement became Rice's all-time leader in
career passing yards with 6,242, breaking the previous school 
mark held by Erik Kramer.  Clement is averaging 556 yards per 
game in total offense, ranking sixth in the Football Bowl 
Subdivision.

"They have a really explosive offense," Texas coach Mack Brown 
said of the Owls, who average an FBS-low of two penalties per 
game.

Clement and wide receiver Jarett Dillard have combined for 37 
touchdowns, the third-best total in NCAA history.]]></description>
