CFB Top 25: No. 2 Longhorns race past Wyoming after slow start

LARAMIE, Wyo. — Colt McCoy warmed up after a shaky start and No. 2 Texas overcame poor special teams play and a bad first half to beat Wyoming 41-10 on a cold and breezy Saturday.

The Longhorns (2-0) looked ready to be lassoed until taking a 13-10 lead just before halftime, although their defense had a great afternoon against a spread offense in preparation for next weekend’s showdown with Texas Tech.
The defense held the Cowboys (1-1) out of the end zone and limited them to 3-for-17 on third down in helping to secure the Longhorns’ 15th straight non-conference win, tying a school record established in the 1940s.
