Texas thrilling double-overtime victory over 10th-ranked Notre Dame last Sunday turned enough heads to push the Longhorns into the AP rankings, at No. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Donnie-Jones-Jersey/ . 11, for the first time since December 2013.Now that the Longhorns have earned the respect and the notion from the college football world that Texas is pertinent again, theyll have to work not to throw away all theyve gained. That quest continues Saturday when the Longhorns host Texas-El Paso at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.It was a great team win for us, Texas coach Charlie Strong said of the Notre Dame game. It was a fun night -- Im so happy and so proud. Probably last year we couldnt have won this game. Now we have to continue to build on how we got here because one game does not make a season.Texas (1-0) won because the two quarterback system adopted by the Longhorns at the 11th hour worked almost flawlessly against Notre Dame.Freshman Shane Buechele (16 of 26, 280 yards, two touchdowns) did just about everything right, save for a third quarter interception that almost cost Texas the game. Senior Tyrone Swoopes, a player who would rather not be in the spotlight but whos had little choice, exceled in the power running package, rushing for three touchdowns including the game winner.Texas running back DOnta Foreman had 131 rushing yards and wide receiver John Burt caught six passes for 111 yards, 72 of which came on a touchdown pass from Buechele on the second play of the third quarter.The Longhorns have already matched the number of 100-yard receiving games they had during the 2015 season.Hey, were 1-0, Strong said. We wanted make a statement and we did. There are so many things we can clean up and get better at. You have to grow from game to game, and you have to get better from game to game. Youve got to take this game, correct the mistakes, move on to the next one, and we cant have the same ones.UTEP is coming off a 38-22 victory over Interstate-10 rival New Mexico State in its season opener last weekend. The Miners 38 points were the most to open a season against an FBS program since 1965.This is very exciting for our players, an opportunity to play a Big 12 team in front of 100,000 fans, UTEP coach Sean Kugler said at his Monday press conference. These guys have probably dreamed of playing for Texas growing up. We have a lot of competitive kids on our team; they need to play with a chip on their shoulder. Our kids are going to go up ready to fight.UTEP heads into the game with the nations leading rusher in Aaron Jones, back from an ankle injury he sustained in a Week 2 game at Texas Tech last year. Jones racked up 249 yards on a career-high 31 carries with a pair of scores against New Mexico State. His rushing total was the third-most in Miners history.The Miners amassed 518 yards of total offense against NM State, the third-most during the Kugler era in El Paso.Defensively, UTEP surrendered only 5-of-15 third down conversions against New Mexico State. Last season, the Miners ranked no. 1 in Conference USA and were tied for fifth nationally in third-down conversion percentage allowed (.357).Texas, which is a 28-point favorite, leads the series 4-0.UTEP and Texas met twice previously in the 1930s in Austin, with the Longhorns victorious 28-0 in 1930 and 22-6 in 1933. The series was renewed in 2008 as Texas won the inaugural matchup in El Paso 42-13. A year later, the No. 2 Longhorns topped the Miners in Austin 64-7.http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Jay-Ajayi-Jersey/ . As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Randall-Cunningham-Jersey/ . Pert has formerly spent time as an assistant coach with Cardiff City, Coventry City, and Bahrain mens national team.

The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. TROON, Scotland -- A promising start on Saturday morning didnt last over Royal Troons treacherous back nine for Jordan Spieth, who is having difficulty matching his form of a year ago -- and who finds the comparisons unfair.Spieths 1-over-par 72 during the third round of The Open means he has failed to break par in any round of a major championship in 2016 since an opening 66 at the Masters, where he squandered a five-shot advantage over the final nine holes.Now hes just looking to gain momentum for the PGA Championship in two weeks, as he was 15 strokes behind Phil Mickelson before the leader teeing off.Its been tough given I think its been a solid year and I think, had last year not happened, Id be having a lot of positive questions, Spieth said. Instead, most of the questions I get are comparing to last year and therefore negative because its not to the same standard.So thats almost tough to then convince myself that youre having a good year when the questions I get make me feel like its not. So thats a bit unfair to me, but dont feel sorry for me. Ill still be OK. But I would appreciate if people would look at the positives over comparing to maybe hopefully what would happen to me a few times in my career a year, like laast year. http://www.eaglesrookiestore.com/Eagles-Nelson-Agholor-Jersey/. . It seems a bit unfair at 22 to be expecting something like that all the time.Spieth won the Masters and U.S. Open last year and came within a stroke of a playoff at The Open at St. Andrews. He finished the years Grand Slams second at the PGA Championship and was third at this years Masters.But despite victories at Kapalua in January and the Colonial in May, Spieths year has been marked by inconsistency and judged by the five-victory season -- that was capped with a FedEx Cup title -- in 2015.On Saturday, after making the cut on the number, Spieth played the first seven holes in 4-under par. Then he missed short par putts at the ninth and 10th, double-bogeyed the 11 and added another bogey at the 15th, failing to make any more birdies.Im hitting the ball great, very pleased with that; I hit it well enough to shoot 4- or 5-under easy today, Spieth said. On the front nine, if I putt the way I should putt ... my short game and wedge has really let me down, too. Im very pleased with the way Im striking the ball, especially in these conditions. Just cant quite get it in the hole.
