AUSTIN (AP) - Colt McCoy put up five touchdowns in another near-perfect start, and No. 7 Texas routed Arkansas 52-10 on Saturday to hand Razorbacks coach Bobby Petrino an embarrassing debut in a border rivalry famous for close games.
The loss was the most lopsided in the series since a 35-point Texas victory in 1970. In the previous 10 meetings between Texas and Arkansas, the average margin of victory was fewer than nine points.
The Longhorns (4-0) have now outscored opponents 198-36 this season, an average margin of victory of 41 points.
McCoy completed 17 of 19 passes and threw three touchdowns, pushing his season total to 14. He also ran for a game-high 84 yards and two scores.
