Four of the most anticipated quarters of the college football season have come and gone, With the Longhorns losing to the Sooners, 34-27. Though Texas was able to keep this game within one score, it largely wasn’t that close of a contest. Texas benefited from two big turnovers in the red zone — a fumble and an interception by Jalen Hurts. Two additional drives stalled in the red zone, forcing the Sooners to settle for field goals.
The Texas defense played with heart, making big plays when it counted, and keeping the game close, despite often playing on the wrong side of the 50 yard line due to struggles offensively.
