AUSTIN, Texas—A six-yard rushing touchdown by Tyrone Swoopes in the second overtime gave Texas a 50-47 win over No. 10 Notre Dame in front of a record-setting home crowd on Sunday night at Darrell K Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium.
The Fighting Irish struck first in the opening minutes to jump out to a 7-0 lead, but the Longhorns responded in short order with a scoring drive of their own.
In his first start at Texas, true freshman quarterback Shane Buechele marched the team downfield to the Notre Dame 19-yard line before finding receiver Armanti Foreman in the end zone to tie the game.
