An opportunistic defense that forced four turnovers and an offense that made big plays in the last 20 minutes, including a long, game-clinching drive, propelled the Texas Longhorns past the No. 17-ranked TCU Horned Frogs, 31-16, in front of another raucous crowd at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Freshman safety Caden Sterns had two interceptions, including a huge play in the fourth quarter that featured a return down inside the TCU 3-yard line to consolidate momentum, while junior safety Brandon Jones recorded his first career interception and played a sensational all-around game to continue his rise as a second-year starter.
