The No. 11 Texas Longhorns didn’t let the task of playing at No. 3 Alabama keep them from getting off to a hot start on Saturday night.
The Longhorns entered halftime with a 13-6 lead over the Crimson Tide, with Texas superfan Matthew McConaughey standing right by the field for the night’s big game with ESPN2’s broadcast crew.
The big play of the first half was undoubtedly Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers’ 44-yard bomb to Xavier Worthy that notched the game’s first touchdown.
McConaughey got immediately hyped up for the major Longhorns score as he provided some priceless analysis of how the big score went down.
"HOOK 'EM BABY. COME DOWN HERE. COME DOWN HERE. DID WE TALK ABOUT THE LONGBALL? DID WE TALK ABOUT THE LONGBALL?"

I mean, you really can’t ask for more than that if you’re a Texas fan. McConaughey is one of the team’s most notable fans, and to have him in Tuscaloosa for such a monumental game is cool enough as it is.
To have him going wild on the sideline for your big touchdown?
That’s more than alright, alright, alright.
