  • DeAndre Moore Jr. scored on all three of his receptions, punctuating a receivers group that produced explosive gains downfield.
  • Texas surrendered 512 total yards and has allowed 30-plus points in four straight games, though two second-half takeaways yielded 14 Longhorns points.
  • The ground game managed 97 yards on 28 carries with continued short-yardage issues, even as pass protection improved to its lowest pressure rate of the season.
