Texas vs TCU game

This was my first home game of the season (I was sick for Arkansas State and was unable to go to the 1st one). Before the game we went to Double Dave's and got some of their famous Pepperoni Rolls. Texas came out in the first half and their defense played well, holding TCU to 3 offensive points. Those three points were off of a turnover where TCU only went about 30 yards before kicking a field goal. TCU's other touchdown came off of an interception that Colt threw. We moved the ball, but gave up two turnovers and were plagued with penalties (3 offensive pass interference penalties in the 1st half against us!). I was a bit worried, being down 10-0 to a ranked team at half time. I figured as long as our defense played the same and our offensive didn't make mistakes that we would be ok in the 2nd half. Well, that's exactly what happened. Our defense once again held them to 3 points in the second half, and our offense lit up for 34 points, wrapping up the game with a final score of 34-13. We travel to Central Florida next week, then have Kansas State at home. If we can make it through those two games, then we will be undefeated going into Texas-OU. The Red River shootout is best when both teams go in undefeated. It looks like there is a good chance for that this year. Here are some pictures and a couple of videos from the game:

Marinara is good, but ranch is better...
