Texas took down West Virginia to pick up its first Big 12 Conference win of the season. The Longhorns got off to an early lead and cruised to a 38-20 victory.
Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns picked up a much-needed confidence boost with the win.
The Longhorns’ offense proved explosive through the air all game long. Hudson Card threw for a career high 303 yards and three touchdowns. Wide receiver Xavier Worthy even got in on the action with a 33-yard touchdown toss of his own in the second quarter.
West Virginia failed to move the ball effectively on the ground. The Mountaineers averaged just two yards per carry against the Texas defensive front. Quarterback JT Daniels got into a rhythm late but the game was already well out of reach.
