WATCH: Keondre Coburn, Byron Murphy block for Bijan Robinson’s touchdown

Nothing like some defensive lineman blocking for Bijan Robinson!

Texas is finally having some second-half success, finding the end zone on their opening drive. A 15 play scoring drive, taking 6:11 off the clock is not something we are used to seeing from Steve Sarkisian’s offense.

Just a play after Bijan Robinson came up short on a swing pass, Sarkisian decided to go for it on fourth and goal. Defensive lineman Keondre Coburn and Byron Murphy came into the game as lead blockers, paving the way for Robinson to get his first touchdown of the day.

As a defender, seeing No. 99 and No. 90 charging at me would not be fun. Two of the biggest dudes in the conference are going to win one on one blocks with a running head start.

You can watch the full play here:

Now, we wait and see if Texas can sustain success in the second half. Getting Robinson involved after a rather uneventful first half was a good start. More of the Heisman caliber running back will lead to a win.

After Baylor responded with a touchdown, Texas leads 21-17 in the third quarter. You can watch the rest of the game on ABC.

Watch: Bijan Robinson walks in for second TD vs Oklahoma State

Bijan strolls into the end zone for a touchdown!

After scoring 28 points in the first quarter of last week’s Oklahoma matchup, this has been quite the uneventful game in comparison.

The Longhorns so far have seemed to be playing improved defense, but they need to show that they can sustain it throughout the game, unlike last week.

On the other hand, the offense has been solid but is not nearly as high octane as it was last week.

One thing has been a constant in this game, and that is Bijan Robinson making big-time plays. The Longhorns are up 17-3, and both of the touchdowns have been as a result of No. 5 finding the end zone.

The first one came on a run play on the opening drive of the game. His second came on a nice pass from Casey Thompson on a wheel route-like play, that has seemingly been one of the Longhorns’ go-to plays in the red zone.

You can watch the score here:

Robinson has been all over the field for Texas and has accumulated 98 total yards through the first quarter and part of the second. The Longhorns are looking to put a dagger into the hearts of the Cowboys, and feeding Robinson might be the best way to do so.
