It was another nail-biter that shouldn’t have happened, but the No.7 Texas Longhorns continue to embody the “survive and advance” mantra with their narrow escape from Fort Worth to grab their ninth win of the year and hold the top spot in the conference.
The Longhorns’ defense continued to be stellar, both on the ground and on the money downs, while Jonathon Brooks, in what unfortunately turned out to be his last game of the year, once again paced the offense and kept them on track. A lack of complimentary football coupled with the Longhorns’ second-half offensive woes continue to cost Texas, creating an inability to close out teams and win comfortably.
