Game Notes

Slow start, but strong finish as #2 Longhorns blast the Buffaloes 38-14.

Texas stumbles offensively against Colorado before the defense and special teams step up in the 2nd half. An overwhelming underdog, the Buffaloes lead 14-3 until Colt McCoy hits Jordan Shipley with a 39-yard TD pass in the final minute of the 1st half.

The Longhorns take the lead when Ben Wells returns a blocked punt 3 yards for a score early in the 3rd quarter. When Colorado tries to answer Earl Thomas picks Cody Hawkins and returns it 92 yards for a TD rather than the Buffaloes regainining the lead. Shipley then returns a punt 74 yards for a TD and 31-14 lead in the 4th quarter to help offset the inconsistent offense.
