Re: RTG story line
Texas QB Hudson leads Longhorns to Victory in OT thriller against UTEP!!
Texas:38
UTEP:31
The freshman QB Chris Hudson was worth every bit of the time in recruiting him. He had his first start this evening against Rival UTEP in what usually is a big win for Texas, but tonight was a different story as the longhorn QB had some mistakes in the first half by throwing one interception and several misque passes. You could tell he was nervous and had the first game jitters, but Hudson held in there and gained his composure as on the last play of the second Quarter with :02 seconds left he threw a 46 yard TD pass to WR Jordan Shipley #8 making it 17-10 at half.
The second half got underway with UTEP answering the score and tieng it up 17-17. Hudson would come right back and complete several big passes with help on the ground from RB #22 get it in the endzone to make it 24-24.
The 4th quarter would see it tied up at 24 even, Hudson had 1:42 to use, and he did just that as he led a long drive down the filed and capped it off with a TD run to put the Longhorns in the lead, But UTEP would answer quickly and tie it up to send it into over time 31-31. In the end, Texas took the ball and on first down Hudson hit Shipley with a pass on the 5 yd line, which saw Hudson then take the QB Sneak from the shotgun and walk into the Endzone for the Longhorn Win!
Stats:
Completions:21-26
Passing Yards:292
Passing TD's:1
Rushing Yards:21
Rushing TD's:2
Chris, You got your first start today and had one heck of a game what was it like?
It was very hectic at the beginning i kept gettig rattled.....I had one interception early, The first qtr was my worst then afte rthat i calmed down and just got back to doing what i knew how to do and that is play QB.....Down towards the end ya know when it was tied up i was thinking ok you've got to prove right here why your the man, and i can say for myself that i proved alot by leading us to a victory!
Your leadership role did it come into this game at all?
Oh yea definatly from the first snap i took to that winning touch down. I think I really done a lot for my team today, and gained some respect from coaches and fans. I'll keep the leader role as long as I play like I did today!
