That was certainly one of the more eventual games Texas has experienced throughout the Tom Herman, but after all the madness, the Longhorns somehow escaped Lubbock with an improbable 63-56 overtime win over Texas Tech.
Here are a few initial takeaways (to be updated).
A win is a win. That certainly wasn’t an encouraging effort to watch if you have high hopes for Texas this season, but on a day in which No. 3 Oklahoma and No. 6 LSU each lost, a win is good enough. It would be an understatement to say Texas has a few things it can learn from this game tape going forward, but as far as the Longhorns are concerned, 2-0 atop the Big 12 is much better than 1-1 with a loss in their Big 12 opener.
