Set 2–Texas 25 vs. Texas Tech 20

The second set was not near as easy as the first set for the Longhorns. While Texas cruised in the first, hitting a very high .571 to Tech’s negative .033, the second was a bit tougher for the Longhorns. But a Destinee Hooker kill put Texas up 23-17 before taking the set 25-20.

Set 1–Texas 25 vs. Texas Tech 9

Texas Tech has yet to win a Big 12 game this season, but don’t expect the Red Raiders to roll over against the Longhorns. While Tech is 0-14 this Big 12 season, the Raiders came out strong refusing to be blown away at Gregory Gymnasium.

Tech would stay with the Longhorns, tying the game at 4, before Texas would pull ahead to a 10-6 lead. From there things got out of hand. Texas would go on a 15-3 run and take the first set 25-9.

No. 5 Texas recovered from last week’s loss with a 45-21win over Baylor. Quarterback Colt McCoy 26 of 37 passes for 300 yards and five touchdowns, but threw two interceptions.

Folks, we have a Ryan Bailey sighting. The backup kicker made a 30-yard field goal to make it 45-14 with 5:47 left.

We are going down to the field so no more blogging.

9:01- With starting safety Earl Thomas out of the game after getting injured, Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin picked on backup Ben Wells, lofting up a 55-yard bomb to fellow freshman Kendall Wright for the game-tying touchdown. Wright ran right past Wells and was wide open.

6:06- After Baylor forced Texas to a missed field goal, Texas quickly changed the momentum of the game. Robert Griffin threw a screen towards Wright and Wright tipped the ball up into the air. Senior cornerback Ryan Palmer picked off the ball and returned it for a 22-yard score. Texas is up 21-14.

1:58 - Whatever scare Baylor could mount is over. McCoy beat the blitz to find Quan Cosby streaking wide open in the middle of the field for a 26-yard touchdown to put Texas up 28-14.
