Overview

• Head coach Steve Sarkisian said Baxter suffered a hamstring injury on a six-yard run that was severe enough to shut him down for the game.
• A school spokesperson indicated Baxter was not expected to return after he limped off and went to the locker room on the opening snap.
• No timetable for Baxter’s recovery has been announced as the staff evaluates his status following the 27-10 win.
• With Quintrevion Wisner missing a second straight game, freshmen and underclassmen handled the workload, led by James Simon (17 carries, 67 yards) and Jerrick Gibson (18 for 64), with Christian Clark contributing touches.
• Baxter had been Texas’ leading rusher this season and his new issue follows a 2024 right-knee injury that required season-ending LCL and PCL surgery.
