Early in the fourth quarter of the 41-20 win by the Texas Longhorns over the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday, the Longhorns finally got to Roadrunners quarterback Frank Harris, who avoided numerous sacks on the evening with his elusiveness inside and outside the pocket, when senior linebacker DeMarvion Overshown came free on a blitz.
A play that should have represented catharsis after three frustrating quarters of trying and failing to get Harris to the ground behind the line of scrimmage quickly turned into frustration after Overshown was flagged for a targeting penalty. Review upheld the call on the field, resulting in Overshown’s ejection and suspension for the first half of next week’s Big 12 opener against Texas Tech in Lubbock, leaving fans in the stadium and at least one former player incensed.
