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.
