Wes Welker can't be stopped

Probably my favorite message from the top of the Double T scoreboard - maybe only a close second to "This is too easy" when we were stomping A&M a few years back...

I was watching an ESPN Classic presentation of the Texas @ TTU game from 2002 last night. It was fun to watch. We had a threatening defense and some seriously undersized but talented skill position players.

It helps when one of those skill postilions players is Wes Welker.



Chris Simms and Roy Williams combined for many TDs and yards for the Horns - while Cedric Benson was pretty much a non-factor.

NOTE - the lack of receiving statistics is not the fault of DT! - if you click the link provided below you will see that the stats are also missing from CNN's page - weird - sorry.

Thanks to CNN/SI. Recap. Box Score.

To those that fail to notice - this year's game happens to be in Austin. Our luck hasn't been as good in Austin, although we generally play them tough even on the road.

Expect a shootout.
