Final
Texas hopes to keep offense rolling against UTEP
Sep 6, 2008 - 11:30 AM No. 9 Texas (1-0) at UTEP (0-1), 10:15 p.m. EDTEL PASO, Texas (Ticker) -- As far as Texas-El Paso coach Mike Price is concerned, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy played a perfect game last week in the Longhorns' season-opening 52-10 victory over Florida Atlantic.
Now, Price has the unenviable task of trying to slow down McCoy and the ninth-ranked Longhorns, who visit Texas-El Paso on Saturday.
"Colt McCoy, I try to find something wrong with that guy." Price said. "He was 18-of-19 in the first half, and the one incompletion he threw hit the guy in the chest in the end zone. And even his quick kick was perfect."
McCoy finished 24-of-29 for 223 yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for 103 yards and a score to join former Longhorn great Vince Young as the only Texas quarterbacks to pass for 200 yards and run for 100 yards in the same game more than once.
And McCoy accomplished the feat on the night Texas retired Young's No. 10 jersey.
"That's crazy," McCoy said. "Vince is the best that ever played here, and it was pretty cool to have him at the game when I did something like that."
Texas featured a balanced attack against Florida Atlantic, passing for 271 yards and rushing for 232, and the Longhorns will look to keep their offense in high gear against the Miners, who could be in for another long afternoon.
Texas-El Paso was routed by Buffalo of the Mid-American Conference, 42-17, in its season opener last week. The Miners (0-1) surrendered 484 yards.
Texas-El Paso is beginning its fifth season under Price, who is 25-24 at the school. However, the Miners are coming off back-to-back losing campaigns.
