Colt McCoy suffered through his worst half of football since his sophomore season, and Texas finally starting moving the ball once they switched to the hurry-up offense. A 25-yard catch and run by James Kirkendoll put the Longhorns up 13-10 headed into halftime, but Texas fans have to be feeling wary of their no. 2 ranking being in jeopardy if the poor play continues.
The good news is that Wyoming's offense has yet to take advantage of the myriad of mistakes made by the Longhorns, in a game that could have gotten out of hand very quickly. The Cowboys' only points came off special teams blunders by UT.
Perhaps the story of the game so far (besides McCoy regressing in front of our very eyes), is the decision by Texas punter Justin Tucker to try a fake punt from deep in Texas territory. Coach Mack Brown blasted his punter in his halftime interview, and I'm sure there won't be many kind words in the locker room.

Regressing is an overstatement
A bad half is a bad half. And 17-29 for 166 with 1 TD and 1 INT is good for most mortals.
In any case, Texas is outgaining Wyoming 237 yards to 99. This game’s not close, if Texas doesn’t wet the bed in the punting game. Need to clean up the mistakes and they’ll be fine.
You ain't hurt.
