No. 2 Texas Dispatches Wyoming 41-10 After First Half Scare

You have to give credit to Wyoming, who came out fired up and gave Texas all they could handle in the first half. Yet Texas' deep talent and the Cowboys' lack of any offensive threat led to a second half blowout as UT walked away with an ultimately easy 41-10 victory.

Heisman candidate Colt McCoy shook off a rough half of football to lead a balanced Texas attack to four touchdowns in the second half. Starting running back Vondrell McGee left the game early in the third quarter, yet redshirt freshman Tre' Newton (son of former Dallas Cowboy Nate Newton) provided the Longhorns with a spark on the ground, including a nifty 18-yard touchdown run.

Despite the struggles in the first half, Texas ultimately outgained Wyoming 538-237 and didn't allow an offensive touchdown. The Longhorns will need to come out much sharper next week, as they take on Texas Tech in Austin on Saturday night.
