Texas Christian vs Texas: First quarter recap

The first quarter between the TCU Horned Frogs and Texas Longhorns went an entire hour. Lots of sloppy play that ends with a 7-7 tie.

The game started out with the Texas Longhorns receiving the opening kickoff. It took three times due to penalties to get the kick off to the Longhorns on offense. One negated a Bijan Robinson return that would have put Texas at the Horned Frogs one-yard line. Quarterback goes 0-3 on the first drive to force a punt to TCU.

After the Frogs drove inside Texas territory, the Longhorns were able to get a stop to force a TCU punt. The other big story early on in the quarter were the penalties early on. Delay of game on fourth down caused TCU to punt when they originally lined up to go for it. The Longhorns once again had a big play wiped out by a penalty and forced to punt back to the Frogs.

The Longhorns defense allowed TCU to go down the field and punch it in for the early 7-0 lead. Darwin Barlow punched it in for the Frogs.

During the first quarter defensive back Tyler Owens went down with a hamstring injury and was announced that he wouldn’t be back for this game. Through the first 10 minutes of the game Ehlinger hadn’t completed a single pass on three attempts. On his first completion, Jake Smith was called for pass interference to wipe it out. On third and 25, he finds Jared Wiley for 52 yards and a first down.

After their initial first down of the game, Ehlinger threw it down the sideline to Eagles but the ball was ripped out at the last second. The play was reviewed and upheld. The Longhorns were able to get the training rolling in the right direction. They cap off the drive with a touchdown pass from Ehlinger to Jake Smith.

Quarter ends with a 7-7 tie.
