Overview
- The redshirt sophomore went 18-of-30 for a career-high 389 yards with four TD passes, added a 3-yard rushing score and caught a 4-yard touchdown.
- He became the first Texas quarterback to record passing, rushing and receiving touchdowns in a single game, with three TD connections to DeAndre Moore Jr. and a trick-play catch from Parker Livingstone.
- Texas created separation after halftime by cashing in two takeaways, capped by Liona Lefau’s 52-yard fumble return for a touchdown off a Colin Simmons strip sack.
- Defensive concerns persist as the Longhorns allowed 512 yards and a third straight 30-plus-point game while operating without linebacker Anthony Hill Jr.
- Texas improved to 8-3 (5-2 SEC) and will host unbeaten Texas A&M on Friday with only a narrow CFP path, as Ty'Anthony Smith must miss the first half for targeting and Arkansas fell to 2-9 (0-7) with a ninth straight loss.
