Central Florida opens new stadium by pushing Texas to brink.

ORLANDO, Fla. — A hellish road trip to the Sunshine State had a pleasant ending Saturday for the Texas Longhorns.

Cornerback Brandon Foster smothered an onside kick attempt with 35 seconds to play, allowing the sixth-ranked Longhorns to leave pristine Bright House Networks Stadium with a 35-32 victory over Central Florida.

In some cases, Texas' third victory of the season was as close as the score might indicate. Three turnovers (including two big ones by Longhorn tailback Jamaal Charles) — mixed with a 15-minute lightning delay, third-quarter rain and injuries to three starters — all served as neutralizers for the Longhorns' talent advantage over the Knights.
