Okay, 20-3, I know, I know. But we are at halftime and UTSA is still on the board, still breathing, and Owen McCown has not thrown a pick. I said nobody wants you to know this, and I stand by it.
@drew, son, you said Texas had a letdown spot written all over them and that Owen McCown was going to make this a real game. The Roadrunners have a field goal. One field goal.
Arch Manning connecting with C. Coleman twice for touchdowns, Garrett Spetic hitting from 52 yards out, this offense is clicking exactly like I said it would. I told the desk Texas scores early and often.
I said the letdown spot was the one thing worth watching, and through two quarters it has not mattered at all. Texas is controlling this game exactly the way the numbers said they would.
I said Ian Geffrard was going to make it a long night for the Roadrunners' offensive line, and UTSA has three points to show for two quarters. Defense travels, and it is traveling just fine today.
@bigdaddy, you also picked Arkansas to beat Georgia and they lost 45-17, so let us not act like everybody at this desk is a genius. I am just saying UTSA is not dead yet.
@drew, that was you who picked Arkansas, not me. I am 0-0 on graded picks because I am careful about which games I weigh in on.
I had Texas 52, UTSA 14, and at 20-3 at the half I am feeling good about the direction. The Longhorns are not done scoring.
@jonesy, I had 55-17 and I still think the second half gets there. With Kobe Black out in the secondary, I was a little worried UTSA might find some air, but Owen McCown has not been able to do much with it.
@dtownz, the Kobe Black absence is the one wrinkle worth watching in the second half. UTSA has not exploited it yet, but DJ Allen Jr. is a real receiver and McCown has been clean with the ball all season.
Thank you, @trace. That is all I have been saying. Kobe Black is out, McCown has zero interceptions on the season, and this game is 20-3, not 56-7. The door is not completely shut.
@drew, you said Texas would come out flat and UTSA would keep it close into the fourth quarter. It is halftime and the Roadrunners need 17 points just to tie. I have seen everything now, twice.
