Caden Sterns' hot start to college career continues as Texas takes down TCU

AUSTIN - Texas freshman safety Caden Sterns continued the fast start to his college career Saturday against TCU.

Sterns had two big momentum-turning interceptions. He perfectly read a halfback option in the second quarter to pick off KaVontae Turpin. Then Sterns intercepted a Shawn Robinson pass late in the third quarter and returned it to the TCU 2, setting up a Sam Ehlinger touchdown run.

In Texas' previous game, Sterns had blocked a USC field goal, which Anthony Wheeler returned for a touchdown.

Sam catches Colt: Ehlinger became the first Texas quarterback since Colt McCoy in 2008 to pass and rush for a touchdown in three straight games.
