Game Notes

#2 Longhorns crush the Owls 42-6.

Texas gets 3 quick strike TDs in the 1st half for a 21-0 lead and is never challenged by Rice. Mark Lang's INT, 1 of 3 by the Longhorns, sets up a 8-yard TD run by John Walker in the 1st quarter. Another pick by Jerry Gray sets up a 22-yard TD pass from Rob Moerschell to Bill Boy Bryant.

Then Moerschell hits Brett Duhon for a 52-yard TD pass in the 2nd quarter. Moerschell adds a 1-yard TD run in the 3rd quarter and freshman Edwin Simmons bursts loose for a 76-yard TD and 35-0 lead. The Owls don't dent the scoring until :29 remaining in the game.
