The Texas Longhorns couldn’t overcome a horrid start offensively and the defense’s inability to force turnovers or get off the field, losing to the West Virginia Mountaineers 31-23 on Saturday in Morgantown as a late comeback fell short.
Sitting at 4-7 and 2-6 in Big 12 play, Texas is ensured a losing season and will miss a bowl game for the first time since 2016 thanks to a six-game losing streak unseen on the Forty Acres since 1956.
West Virginia took a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter after holding Texas to 11 total yards in the first quarter as the Longhorns went three and out on its three possessions in that quarter before going three and out for a fourth straight time.
