for a career-high 113 yards as UTEP scored all five of its touchdowns on the ground in a 38–12 dismantling of NM State on Saturday night in Las Cruces. A rain and lightning delay of nearly three hours couldn't stop the Miners from posting their 50th win in the long-running I-10 series. UTEP (1–2) secured its first victory over the Aggies (1–2) since 2006 while posting its first win of the 2009 season. "It was an unusual start to the game," UTEP coach Mike Price said. "I thought we were more fired up and ready to play the second time than the first time (referring to the lightning delay). I was glad to see us be able to run the ball a little bit. I was a little apprehensive about playing the mud. I thought it could be an equalizer." Buckram and Vernon Frazier both scored two rushing touchdowns for the Miners, who forced a turnover on NM State's opening possession, converted it into a TD, then withstood the long delay to score the game's next 24 points. UTEP forced three turnovers in the game, and held the Aggies to 284 yards of total offense. Texas Colt McCoy and No. 2 Texas got the fast start they had been missing in recent weeks, rolling to a 40-point lead by halftime before cruising to a 64–7 win Saturday over Texas-El Paso. McCoy passed for 286 yards and three touchdowns, two to Dan Buckner. The Longhorns (4–0) also pressured UTEP quarterback Trevor Vittatoe into five turnovers. Freshman D.J. Monroe's first-quarter 91-yard kickoff return made him the first player in Texas history to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in a career. He also had one in Texas' opener. This one came seconds after UTEP's Melvin Stephenson II returned an interception 49 yards for a touchdown. McCoy was sharp after the interception with TD passes of 36 and 15 yards to Buckner and 16 yards to Jordan Shipley, as Texas built a 47–7 halftime lead. McCoy left the game after Texas' first possession of the third quarter. Vittatoe was 7 of 21 for 38 yards with four interceptions and a fumble for UTEP (1–3). Texas held UTEP to seven first downs and 53 total yards. The defense did its part, pounding UTEP Quarterback Trevor Vittatoe with pass rush that forced him into several bad throws. Sergio Kindle sacked Vittatoe on the fifth play of
