ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Thanks to Central Florida, it may be a while before Texas accepts another offer to open someone's new stadium.

Colt McCoy threw 259 yards and two touchdowns and Jamaal Charles scored on a 46-yard run Saturday to clinch a 35-32 victory over UCF. The Longhorns' first trip to the Sunshine State in 34 years was anything but a smooth journey.

The jaunt started with a long delay at the Austin airport on Friday, then got more frustrating when one of the team buses broke down in Orlando. Things didn't get any easier against an opponent excited to be showing off its new home on national television.

"There was a tremendous atmosphere. I told the kids today I didn't think they understood what they were about to get into," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "It was a trap game for us and a buzzsaw."
