Texas longhorn’s football statistics in this 2010 season. Texas started the season vs. rice, they won 34-17. After falling behind 3-0, Texas broke off for 24 consecutive points in the second quarter to take a three touchdown lead.  A 72-yard drive with a 26-yard Justin Tucker field goal to extend the lead to 34-10 in the fourth quarter brought Texas to their first win of the season.

Gilbert was 22 of 35 with a 45-yard touchdown to freshman receiver Mike Davis in the second quarter. Fozzy Whittaker scored on a 39-yard run. Wyoming (1-1) played just six days after the death of freshman linebacker Ruben Narcisse, who was killed in a car accident in Colorado on Monday. The Cowboys wore decals with his initials and safety Shamiel Gary wore Narcisse's No. 12 to honor him Saturday night. A two field goal and three punt drive, before Carta-Samuels scampered 18-yards for a touchdown and a 7-6 Wyoming lead. The Longhorns needed just four plays to respond and Whittaker broke four tackles on his touchdown run up the middle. He smashed through two defenders near the line of scrimmage and shook two more downfield before diving into the end zone. Lanky Davis spun to his right and outran the defender over the next 30 yards to put Texas up 20-7.In the third quarter, Gilbert made a move worthy of Colt McCoy--if not quite Vince Young--when he scrambled to avoid a rush and hopped over a tackler for an 11-yard gain. The play came on a third down in an 11-play drive that Cody Johnson finished with a 2-yard touchdown. Texas won with a head turning 34-7 victory. Texas vs. Texas tech. Garrett Gilbert threw for two touchdowns and 227 yards to lead No. 6 Texas past Texas Tech 24-14.

Gilbert capped the march with a 1-yard pass to Barrett Matthews to give the Horns a 24-14 lead with 9:26 left. Gilbert finished 21 of 36 with three interceptions.

Texas Longhorns defeat Nebraska Cornhuskers for a 20-13 victory

HI people I am back with more Texas longhorn’s news. The longhorns beat the cornhuskers 20-13. Garret Gilbert ran for two touchdowns in the game, to lead the longhorns in the first half. The cornhuskers have been waiting to get revenge on their loss to longhorns in the previous season.

“They had more pressure on them today than us, and that's unusual," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "I thought their fans hung in there with them. But I could feel some of their fans, when we got up 10-0 thinking, 'You've got to be kidding, not again."' Texas has won 9/10 of the games played against the huskers since 96’. Texas came to the game as an underdog and pulled it out for the win. “Texas defensive lineman Sam Acho said he and his teammates tuned out any talk of a grudge match with the Huskers.” Texas is 5-2 and they are looking for another victory vs. Iowa State on the 23^rd. so all of those Texas fans listening out there go cheer for them in their upcoming game.

I didn't grow up a Longhorn fan, but I became one quickly when I started going to UT in 2002, developing an equal love for Austin and love for the Longhorn, and the passion has only grown since then, reaching a pinnacle with the two championships in 2005, though hardly declining since then. from (GhostofBigRoy)


Well GhostofBigRoy, I haven’t been a Texas fan all my life either. My time of being a Texas fan started 6yrs ago and it will never end. Garret Gilbert and James Kirkendoll are both good players and if they work together as hard as they can then they will break records. I guess I just have to say that I love the longhorns and there recent loss to UCLA was a bummer to me. Their game against the Sooners will hopefully be better and maybe they will get to at least get a big 12 division title this year. Your supporter and Texas fan, adogg82 aka Austin.http://www.sbnation.com/users/GhostofBigRoy

well i would have to agree with you on the whole alabama part becasue bama is just an all around good team. if bama wanted to they could go to the BCS National championship this year, no doubt about it. me personal texas is a good team to but if they dont shape up then the BCS is going nowhere near texas this year. http://www.cfwhoisthebest.blogspot.com/

texas football

I have been a die hard teaxs longhorns fan for 5 years now. I like teaxs football the most. they have lost a good QB (quarter back), but this year they have a good QB (Garret Gilbert). he finished with 264 yards on 30-of-45 passing with a late touchdown to james kirkendoll. Even though they miserable lost to ucla 34-12. It was there first loss of the season and if they lose another, then they risk there chances of going to the BCS National championship. they went last year and there star QB (Colt Mccoy) dislocated his shoulder and was forced to sit the bench. their coach mack brown has been with the longhorns for 12 years and has went 128 and 27 in his texas coaching career. Texas has won four championships, in 1963 1969 1970 and 2005. they play Oklahoma oct.2, 2010. lets hope that texas comes out with the win.
