Ryan Bailey tied a school record with five field goals, ColtMcCoy added a pair of TD passes and Jamaal Charles ran for 153yards and a touchdown for Texas, which only held on afterrecovering an onside kick in the waning seconds.


While Texas improved to 3-0 with the tough road win, Riceslipped to 0-3 with a 59-24 home loss to Texas Tech, one of theLonghorns' Big 12 Conference rivals.
