The Texas Longhorns controlled the game wire-to-wire, even if it was a frustration show form the offense at-times. Texas was able to move the ball despite the ankle injury that hampered Quinn Ewers and limited his mobility, thanks to the late-game performance from the running backs and offensive line.

Perhaps the biggest reason they were in that position was the play of the defense, who smothered UK from the opening drive and kept them in check all afternoon.
