Texas 58, Rice 14

Texas fried Rice at Darrell K Royal Stadium, as Colt McCoy complete 20 of 29 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns. Jamaal Charles added another three rushing touchdowns while accumulating 72 yards on the ground, all of which came in the first half.
Wide Receiver Limas Sweed's stats were also confined to the first half, but that didn't stop him from setting a new career high with 139 receiving yards. His pair of touchdown receptions matched a career high.
The Owls took notice of the 6-foot 5 inch senior.
"He is one of the top five receivers in the nation right now," defensive back Ja'Corey Shepherd said. "There were a couple of plays where I should have made the play on him, but he shielded me of and made the play on the ball."
Freshmen made significant contributions for the Longhorns once the game was in hand, and no one attracted more attention than backup quarterback John Chiles. While both of his attempted passes were dropped, Chiles ran for 72 yards in only nine carries.
