No. 15 Texas bracing for stingy BYU defense

PROVO, Utah (AP) — This wasn’t exactly the type of start the Texas Longhorns’ new fast-paced offense envisioned: Fumbling the football on the first drive and then stalling out the rest of the opening quarter.

Just a minor glitch, though, as the No. 15 Longhorns soon got things revved up in routing New Mexico State 56-7 last weekend as they rolled up a school-record 715 yards of offense. Texas quarterback David Ash led the way by throwing for 343 yards and four touchdowns, along with running for another score.

This weekend, Texas faces a stingy BYU defense that was one of the country’s best last season. Led by linebacker Kyle Van Noy, the Cougars held Virginia’s offense largely in check during a season-opening loss.

One thing’s for certain: The Longhorns have BYU’s attention.
