((HT: KVIA-TV/El Paso))
Donald Buckram ran for a career-high 262 yards and four touchdowns to lead Texas-El Paso to a 58-41 upset of No. 12 Houston.
The Cougars (3-1, 0-1 Conference USA) had earned their first ranking since 1991 and were hoping to become a BCS spoiler after two wins over Big 12 foes. Instead they watched UTEP fans storm the field seconds after the Miners (2-3, 1-0) beat a ranked team for the first time in 12 years.
Houston lost despite a career night from Case Keenum, who threw for 536 yards and five touchdowns.
Buckram had 158 yards and all four of his scores as UTEP pulled away in the second half.
So much for Houston being a bracket buster. "Fun to watch" doesn't necessarily translate into "Run the table."
Here's an interesting bit of live television...
KVIA-TV's Raul Martinez is live for Channel 7's Saturday night sportscast from the Sun Bowl. He's very over-modulated, but he's very excited about his highlights- while the game is still going on in the fourth quarter...
We "think" this is okay since the game had no live television coverage otherwise...
Lost in the whole "Case Keenum had a career night" talk is that to get that 536 yards passing, he had to go 51 of 76...
Un-f'n-real...
Who does he think he is...???
David Klingler or Andre Ware or something...???
