Texas vs. New Mexico - Game Thread (Started Friday Night)

[bbdude]

Instead of waiting until tomorrow to get this puppy up and running, let's do it tonight. A bit I read on the UNM Football site pissed me off a bit. This:

"I don't care what color is on the other side of the ball. It can be orange, blue, green; it doesn't matter. If they aren't red and it doesn't say `Lobos' on their shirt, I don't like `em."Lobo Paytron Hightower

New Mexico has 19 roster players that hail from Texas and Paytron Hightower who provided the above quote - is from Dallas. Hightower also mentioned he didn't like the Longhorns much growing up.

My guess is Mr. Hightower will not like the Longhorns any more after tomorrow's game. And didn't he get the message - there's only ONE Hightower:

They start a freshman qb and the beat the worst team in Louisiana at home 66-21. a freshman qb starting the biggest game of his life in front of 101K crazed burnt orange wearing fans? Does not sound like a plan for success.

42-10. Another big day on the ground. But i could see Mack/Harsin/Applewhite open the passing game up for Ash if the Horns get a lead by at least a few touchdowns. They want to see him throw a more variety of passes. #RISE

I think we see David Ash airing it out tonight. The New Mexico secondary is absolutely terrible. Ash goes for 250 in the air.

 

[Coach_B]

Afternoon Horns peeps. Looking forward to seeing how the Horns defense responds from last weeks lack-luster performance. Also, I see another solid outing by Ash and I pray that McCoy keeps his baseball cap on.

Prediction: Texas 56 New Mexico 10

 

[Lord Vader]

42-21 Texas......where we play all 4 quarters

 

[bbdude]

Ash just ran for 49 yards and a TD.

HORNS - 7, LOBOS - 0

 

[Coach_B]

Defense is still bend but don't break tonight. New Mexico is doing a great job shortening this game up. If my memory serves me, Texas had 1 possession in the first quarter.

 

[bbdude]

Holy crap our defense has problems.

 

[Coach_B]

Solid 38 yard FG by Nick Jordan to push Texas' lead to 10-0.

 

[Coach_B]

Now the Texas defense needs to stiffen up and hold New Mexico to a 3 and out.

Horns - 10, Lobos - 0

Nick Jordan hit a field goal from 38-ish.

 

[bbdude]

And he just misses a 45 yarder! Anthony Fera - WE NEED YOU!

 

[bbdude]

Espinosa is getting his ass kcked on the line. AGAIN.

 

[bbdude]

Mike Davis with a nice little td reception.

Horns - 17, Lobos - 0

[Coach_B]

Not impressed with Texas at all. This team has issues and it's about to get exposed when they a better opponent.
