AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -So that’s what all the fuss over Mike Davis was about.
Texas coaches had raved about the lanky freshman wide receiver and he finally showed why Saturday night, catching seven passes for 104 yards and a big 45-yard touchdown in the Longhorns’ 34-7 win over Wyoming.
Davis was the talk of preseason camp, a standout in a standout group of freshmen. Then came a quiet debut in which he had no catches in a season-opening win over Rice when Garrett Gilbert hardly even threw his way.
Against Wyoming, Davis was Gilbert’s favorite target. The touchdown right before halftime opened up what had been a slow game for the offense.
