(AP Photo / Harry Cabluck)The Lone Star Showdown ended lopsided tonight as the Longhorns stampede the Aggies 49-9. An over matched Texas A&M team was struggling, at best, to keep up with the BCS contender Texas Longhorns.
Texas quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Colt McCoy, was the staple of this offense as he was unstoppable in the air and on the ground against the inexperienced Aggie defense. McCoy went 23 for 28 for 312 yards and two touchdowns through the air. Colt added to his performance on the ground taking 11 carries for 48 yards and two touchdowns.
The Longhorns defense was also dominant as they came up with six sacks and a fumble.
Aggies' quarterback Stephen McGee had a rough return into the lineup as he went 16 for 24 for 207 yards and no touchdowns as he was unable to capitalize on the Longhorns' side of the field. Sophomore Aggie quarterback Jerrod Johnson went 4 for 11 for 62 yards and a late fourth quarter touchdown to freshman receiver Jeff Fuller.
Texas now just has to sit and hope for a miracle in the way of an Oklahoma and Texas Tech losses this Saturday, or a lot of sympathy from pollsters on Sunday.
