Inside the Numbers: Ja’Tavion Sanders on record-setting pace

There’s no other way to say it, the Texas Longhorns put the boots to their archrival Oklahoma Sooners.

The Longhorns took advantage of a reeling Oklahoma team, coming off two humiliating losses, and managed to one-up the Kansas State Wildcats and the TCU Horned Frogs with the 49-point drubbing. Texas jumped out to an early lead, never looked back, and had a luxury rarely afforded to teams in this rivalry game, resting their starters for the entirety of the fourth quarter.

Ja’Tavion Sanders: 5 receptions, 71 yards, 2 TDs

With 1:57 left in the third quarter, Ja’Tavion Sanders came down with his second touchdown reception of the game and put his name among the greatest tight ends in school history.
