AUSTIN — Reminisce about some other great Texas-Arkansas game. This one is going down as another early season blowout for the No. 7 Longhorns.
Colt McCoy put up five touchdowns in another near-perfect start, and Texas routed Arkansas 52-10 on Saturday to hand Razorbacks coach Bobby Petrino an embarrassing debut in a border rivalry famous for close games.
