Austin, Texas ? Sam Houston State was little more than a scrimmage for No. 7 Texas. Bring on Oklahoma.
Colt McCoy passed for two touchdowns, Henry Melton ran for two more and the Longhorns emptied their bench and still piled up the points on Division I-AA Sam Houston State in a 56-3 win Saturday night.
Next up, the rival Sooners who won five straight over Texas before the Longhorns ended the losing streak last season in their run to the national championship.
While thousands of fans left early, many who stayed to the end chanted “Beat OU!” as the Longhorns left the field.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment,” McCoy said. “My whole life.”
The Longhorns (4-1) first had to dispatch an overmatched opponent in a game that was as one-sided as expected.
