Scoring Summary
Texas would start the landslide with a 33 yd td run by RB Johnson (Texas 7-0). Later in the quarter, Texas had a 4th and 2 at the ECU 13, which they would convert. RB Johnson would then punch it in from 2 yds out (Texas 14-0).
RB Johnson got his 3rd td of the game with a 3 yd td run off left tackle (Texas 21-0). ECU drove the ball down the field and had a 4th and inches at the Texas 25. QB Pinkney picked up the first down on a qb keeper. This set up a 10 yd td pass from QB Pinkney to WR Harris (Texas 21-7). On the ensuing kickoff, WR Shipley returned it 98 yds for a td; however, a holding call would nullify the td. ECU got the ball back and missed a 51 yd fg wide left. Texas followed suit by missing a 50 yd fg wide right to close out the half.
For as bad as ECU played, they were still in the game. Texas would open the 3rd with a 19 yd fg (Texas 24-7). RB Johnson then scored his 4th rushing td of the game on a 8 yd run (31-7). QB Pinkney lost a fumbled as he was sacked at the Texas 49 to end the 3rd.
Texas converted the fumble into a 10 yd td pass from QB McCoy to RB Cobb (38-7). Texas would then run the clock out and advance.
Notes:
1. The Texas defense played extremely well. ECU only posted 198 yds of total offense, ran for 36 yds on 20 carries, created 2 turnovers, and allowed 1 3rd down conversion in 13 attempts.
2. Texas defeats ECU by 31 with McCoy only throwing 1 td pass. Texas won this game with a tough running game and a suffocating defense. If the Longhorns keep playing like this, they will be a very tough out.
3. Texas RB Johnson probably posted the best performance of the 1st round. He accounted for 4 tds and 195 rushing yds.
4. Play of the game: RB Johnson’s 8 yd run in the 3rd quarter for his 4th td of the game. ECU was down 17 at the time and was still hanging around. This put Texas up 24 and took ECU out of the game for good.
