Amendola shines against the Nation

Texas dominated the Texas vs. the Nation All-Star game today with a 41-14 drubbing of the Nation team.

Former Red Raider Danny Amendola led Texas in receiving with 71 yards on 3 catches, including the games first touchdown in the 2nd quarter. Amendola caught 4 total passes, but his 2nd, a 6 yard gain was negated by a holding penalty. The play by play reported no other passes thrown to Danny, meaning he caught all four passes that the quarterbacks threw him. Not bad for an undersized, slow white kid.

Former Longhorns Robert Killebrew and Erick Jackson helped out in the defensive effort. Killebrew was credited with 3 solo tackles and a forced fumble. Jackson stood out defensively after returning a Nation fumble 50 yards to give Texas a 21-7 lead in the 3rd quarter. He also broke up a Nick Hill pass to end the 3rd quarter, and recorded 3 tackles, 2 solo.
