The 2023 Red River game did not start well for the Longhorns. Two interceptions by Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers ushered the Oklahoma football team into the game.
After a lengthy drive including a fake punt and fourth down conversion, Oklahoma intercepted the pass deflected off Ja’Tavaion Sanders inside the Texas 20 yard line. After the play, mayhem ensued.
Texas defense held Oklahoma to force a punt, leading to a block and a touchdown. After an impressive defensive stop Texas changed momentum. The team tied the game with a blocked punt after a costly interception.
Prior to the play, the Longhorns went down 7-0 after Quinn Ewers threw an interception on the first possession of the game. Despite it all, Texas found itself still in the game following the two turnovers.
While the Special Teams have kept the team in the game, the other two units will need to improve to compete going forward. Texas has started off slow on both sides of the ball, and the offensive line will need to play better in order to win the game.
Here’s a look at how social media took in the play.
