Second Quarter
Beginning the second quarter with 2nd and 13 at his own team's 30 yard line, Vince Young threw one incomplete pass to Quan Cosby and then a 21 yard completion, also to Cosby. Billy Pittman ran for nine yards and this was followed by a six yard loss by Ramonce Taylor. On third and seven Vince Young was unable to connect with Limas Sweed and so Richmond McGee came in to punt again. Texas A&M got the ball on their 15 yard line and advanced the 85 yards in seven plays and just under four minutes of game clock. They scored on a Brandon Leone touchdown run but the attempt by Jorvorskie Lane at rushing for the two point conversion failed and the resulting score was Texas 14, Texas A&M 15.
An Unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against Brandon Leone and a 21 yard return by Ramonce Taylor gave the Longhorns good field position at their own 46 yard line, but Jamaal Charles immediately gave the ball up to the Aggies on a fumble. The Texas defense sacked McGee on the next series and the Aggies were unable to gain sufficient yardage for a first down so they punted the ball away. This time, Texas moved the ball quickly; they advanced 77 yards in just seven plays and less than three minutes. Their touchdown and extra point made the score UT 21, A&M 15. The Aggies drove back to the UT 34 and attempted a field goal but it fell short of the goal posts. The Longhorns were able to run two plays (an incomplete pass and a sack of Vince Young) before time expired in the half. The score at half time was Texas 21, Texas A&M 15.

“I have started to say
“A quarter of a century”
Or “thirty years back”
About my own life.”
