The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) Vaqueros made history on Saturday with a commanding 66-0 victory over Sul Ross State in their inaugural football game, presented by Bert Ogden Auto Group. Playing before a crowd of 12,726 inside Robert & Janet Vackar Stadium and nearly 20,000 more outside, the Vaqueros showcased both offensive firepower and defensive dominance. Quarterback Eddie Lee Marburger threw for 365 yards and five touchdowns, while the defense limited Sul Ross to just 75 yards. Before kickoff, the university honored members of the Vaquero Founders Society—supporters who donated $50,000 or more to launch the football program. Fans can catch future Vaqueros games on SWAC TV.
