The Longhorns are back in the win column after annihilating Rice in Week 3.
Steve Sarkisian made a change at the quarterback position, but the night consisted of a steady order of running the ball down Rice’s throat. The Longhorns had four different backs tack up a rushing touchdown. Bijan Robinson was the star of the game, no surprise there, as the do it all player finished the game with three touchdowns, all of which came in the first half.
This game was and always should have been out of reach from the jump, the Longhorns were flat out embarrassed against Arkansas last week and needed a fine tuning game. Having a 44-0 lead at halftime is a great way to set the tone that last week’s loss is not resonating with Texas.
The offense was clicking on all cylinders, and the defense resembled the one we saw in Week 1 against Louisiana.
Although this game was not close, we are still able to take away some important notes about the Longhorns.
