Studs and duds from Texas’ 41-20 victory over UTSA

Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson set the tone for Texas.

No. 21 Texas improved to 2-1 on the season after a 41-20 victory over UTSA in front of a packed house at DKR.

The game played much closer than the score indicates. Texas led 24-20 late in the third quarter before a Jahdae Barron pick-six broke the game open.

The Longhorns ran the ball effectively behind great performances from Bijan Robinson and Roschon Johnson. The duo combined for over 300 yards of total offense and four touchdowns.

Texas’ defense bounced back from a sluggish start to the game with a lockdown second half. The Horns held the Roadrunners to just three points after going down 17-7 in the second quarter. Linebackers Jaylan Ford and DeMarvion Overshown tallied 25 tackles in the effort.

Steve Sarkisian is proud of the way his team overcame adversity. Texas responded to the early deficit by outscoring UTSA 34-3 to close the ballgame.

Here is a look at the studs and duds from Texas’ win over UTSA on Saturday night.

Texas plays host to an up-and-coming UTSA program on Saturday night.

Texas plays host to an up-and-coming UTSA program on Saturday night.

The Longhorns enter this matchup fighting the injury bug. Starting quarterback Quinn Ewers is expected to miss a few weeks with an SC sprain. Quarterback Hudson Card (ankle), running back Bijan Robinson (shoulder) and defensive back D’Shawn Jamison (ankle) are all questionable with injuries of their own.

Steve Sarkisian’s squad needs to avoid falling into a trap game after last week’s hard-fought loss to Alabama. UTSA is capable of leaving Austin with a victory if Texas plays flat.

UTSA won 12 games a year ago and is one of the most experienced teams in the nation. Roadrunner quarterback Frank Harris leads a high-powered offense that averages 38 points per game.

Texas vs UTSA Game Preview

Why UTSA Will Win

How does Texas pick it back up after that?

Sure, there’s a moral victory of pushing the then-No. 1 team in the nation to the brink, but to get so close and come up with that good of a performance only to lose in such painful fashion …

Again, how do you gear up for a team you’re supposed to beat, but has the potential to make a bad situation a whole lot worse?

UTSA has been solid. It came very, very close to getting past Houston, and it got the job done against a good Army team that wasn’t able to get its ground game going.

The Roadrunner offense – directed by nationally underappreciated QB Frank Harris – is owning third downs, the run defense is holding up just fine overall, and there’s no fear factor here. This team is going to bring the big-time effort on both sides of the ball.

Why Texas Will Win

It’s not all perfect for UTSA, though.

The offensive line is struggling to keep defenses away from Harris, the D isn’t getting off the field, and penalties were a wee bit of an issue.

And then there’s the secondary. Houston didn’t bomb away for big yards, but Clayton Tune was able to dinking and dunk without a problem. Army – yeah, that Army – was hitting the deep shots to try keeping up the pace.

Alabama needed to grab, grab, and grab some more to keep Xavier Worthy and the Texas receivers from getting loose. As long as the Longhorn O line can keep the Roadrunner pass rush from going off, the downfield plays will be there.

What’s Going To Happen

Who’s going to be the Texas quarterback?

Steve Sarkisian is being very, very coy on the status of Quinn Ewers after getting full body mashed by Bama. His injured left shoulder is supposedly okay – to a point – and backup Hudson Card isn’t considered out despite his ankle injury. However, they’re both far from 100%, and there’s no sure-thing time they’re expected to be back. That, and superstar RB Bijan Robinson is hurting, too.

Oh, and UTSA is good enough to win this.

This is one of those moments for Texas football.

It’s coming off the soul-crushing loss, it’s stars are hurting, it has a true to Texas Tech up next week to start Big 12 play, and UTSA has the makeup to roll into town and pull a Week 3 version of Appalachian State or Marshall.

Texas will get out of this. The defense will play well again, there will be just enough big plays through the air, and it’ll be a survive-and-advance game after a whole lot of sweating.
