ORLANDO, Florida (Ticker) -- Colt McCoy was unspectacular buteffective on Saturday - much like his team.


McCoy passed for 261 yards and Jamaal Charles' 46-yard touchdownrun helped sixth-ranked Texas stave off Central Florida, 35-32,on Saturday in the first game ever played at Bright HouseNetworks Stadium.


McCoy completed 32-of-47 passes, throwing one touchdown and oneinterception for the Longhorns (3-0), who led by as many as 13points in the second half before withstanding a furious rally bythe hosts.


Central Florida (1-1), which had played its home games in theFlorida Citrus Bowl for the past 28 years and was 0-16 all-timeagainst ranked opponents, looked poised for the upset with 3:50remaining in the fourth quarter.


With Texas leading, 29-24, Golden Knights quarterback KyleIsrael rushed for a first down but fumbled the ball, which wasrecovered by linebacker Marcus Griffin.


On the next play, Charles capped his stellar day with his longtouchdown run and gave Texas a 35-24 lead. Charles finishedwith 139 yards on 20 carries.


However, Israel found wide receiver Kamar Aiken for a six-yardscore with 35 seconds remaining, pulling the Golden Knightswithin 35-32. But while Central Florida converted the two-pointconversion, it couldn't recover the ensuing onside kick.

Israel also scored from one yard out on fourth-and-goal to capan eight-play, 65-yard drive to give the Knights a 24-23 lead inthe fourth quarter.


Texas kicker Ryan Bailey, who was a walk-on to start the season,kicked five field goals from 19, 19, 42, 40 and 36 yards out -the last two coming in the fourth quarter.


Victories aside, Texas (3-0) has been inconsistent in its threegames this season.


The Longhorns were outgained, 397-340, in total yards in their21-13 victory over Arkansas State on September 1. LastSaturday, Texas was shut out by then-No. 19 TCU in the firsthalf before rolling to a 34-13 victory.


McCoy found Nate Jones from six yards out Saturday for his lonetouchdown to give Texas a 10-7 lead with 22 seconds remaining inthe first quarter.


Texas upped its lead to 17-7 when cornerback Brandon Fosterintercepted Israel and raced 33 yards for the score in thesecond quarter.


Central Florida's Kevin Smith, who rushed for 149 yards and twotouchdowns, scored from three yards out to cut Texas' lead to23-17.


Texas' standout receiver Limas Sweed, who led the Longhorns with46 catches for 801 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, had onecatch for nine yards Saturday.


The game was delayed 15 minutes with 6:01 remaining in the firstquarter because of lightning.
