McCoy and No. 1 Texas rout No. 11 Missouri 56-31 Send a link to a friend [October 20, 2008] AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Now that's a Texas two-step. A flawlessly executed one at that. A week after earning Texas' first regular-season No. 1 ranking since 1984 by knocking off Oklahoma, Colt McCoy and the Longhorns used a stunning blend of dominating offense and defense in the first half to crush No. 11 Missouri 56-31 Saturday night.
The game was supposed to be a battle between two national title contenders and Heisman Trophy-caliber quarterbacks in McCoy and Missouri's Chase Daniel. The Tigers had been within one victory of playing for the national title last season and were ranked as high as No. 3 just a week ago. It wasn't close. Not even for a little while.
