The game went down to the final moments, but an unbelievable three consecutive Longhorn 4th quarter turnovers to end the contest, which included two extremely ill-advised Sam Ehlinger interceptions and a Tre Watson (non) fumble, took the eraser off of the pencil for a Texas Longhorn team that scribbled haphazardly all over an opening day test for three quarters and a rain delay, but somehow still had multiple chances to win late.
The suggestion of a pencil may be kind. A lot of today’s writing was in crayon. Once again, Texas was badly out-coached, outplayed and showed up unprepared in their season opener under this new regime.
