Florida Stuns No. 9 Texas 29–21 Behind Relentless Pass Rush in The Swamp

Protection problems, including six sacks, leave Texas vulnerable entering the Red River Rivalry.

Overview

  • Florida’s front generated six sacks and constant pressure, exposing Texas’ offensive line with missed assignments and early penalties.
  • Arch Manning threw two interceptions after a brief surge, and persistent pressure kept the Longhorns from sustaining drives.
  • Texas’ rushing attack collapsed to 11 yards on nine carries and just 0.7 yards per carry on first down, prompting an early shift away from the ground game.
  • DJ Lagway produced a strong passing day near 300 yards with multiple chunk plays, and Florida converted 7 of 14 third downs to control key situations.
  • The upset energizes Florida and cools speculation around Billy Napier for now, while Texas turns to Oklahoma next with its playoff hopes under strain.
