UT vs Rice - Halftime

Well, it looks like my prediction was wrong, unless Texas cant find any rhythm at all in the second half — which I somehow doubt. The Longhorns lead 41-7.

Halftime at any game involving Rice is worth watching because of the MOB band. Last year they formed a gun. This year they had people dressed up as Henry Melton, Sergio Kindle and James Henry. Then a trio of cop cars came out and rounded them up as they ran around the field. Next off they panned Michael Vick with a skit in which a dog made him roll over and play dead.
They ended in a '7' formation. 7 = numbers of Texas players recently arrested, Michael Vick's jersey number and the number of points UT scored against A&M last season.
Good stuff, but the Rice fans seemed to enjoy it more than the Texas faithful, not sure why....

Speaking of Sergio Kindle, he's been a breath of life on Texas' defense and special teams, but late in the first half he came off the field with an injury. We'll see if he comes back for the second half, but I kind of doubt it. He looked to be in some pain.
Brandon Foster missed today's game after aggravating a quad injury during pregame.

Henry Melton, Billy Pittman, and Kindle have all seen action today, and they've looked alright. Pittman had one ball thrown his way in the first half but no receptions.

The real story here is Limas Sweed. It seems like he's been forgotten this season — until now. He's reeled in one 48-yard reception and a 52-yard TD catch. He also made a 24-yard touchdown catch to complete Texas' scoring in the first half. His line so far: 5 catches, 139 yards and 2 TDs.
Cosby also has a TD catch, and Jamaal Charles has a pair of touchdown runs. He's gained 72 yards so far on the ground, but her dropped a perfect deep ball that almost certainly would have gone for six.
