Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Friday morning, it would mark the last time the current senior class would step foot in DKR as Texas Longhorns. Before the game, the seniors were greeted by their families in celebration of the four years of blood, sweat, and tears they have sacrificed for Texas football.

In this bittersweet moment captured by Texas’ social media team, seniors such as Devin Duvernay, Zach Shackelford, Collin Johnson, and more meet with their loved ones before walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders by a score of 49-24.

Postgame Report: Texas Longhorns outlast McNeese State Cowboys 73-71

The Texas Longhorns basketball team improves to 6-1 with a narrow victory over the 2-6 McNeese State Cowboys

Today, the Texas Longhorns men’s basketball team narrowly beat the now 2-6 McNeese State Cowboys, outlasting the visiting team 73-71. Though escaping the 2-5 Cowboys by only two points won’t exactly instill confidence in Longhorn diehards, a win is a win and having a proficiency for coming out on top of ugly games is a trait that can be useful come March.

Overall, the Longhorns had a tough time getting anything going from behind the arc, hitting on just 9 of their 31 three point attempts. From the field, Texas hit only 30 if its 66 attempts, good for an uninspiring 45.5% shooting percentage as a team.

Furthermore, Texas was unable to effectively get to the free throw line, attempting only 8 total free throws of which they hit 4 for a miserable 50% free throw percentage.

The player of the game for the Longhorns was Matt Coleman, who accrued 9 points, 6 rebounds, and 10 assists in 38 minutes of play. This Longhorns team has a foundation to build on, but needs to get more consistent on the offensive end if they wish to make any noise this season.

Postgame Report: Texas stomps Texas Tech 49-24

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out the season on a high note

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out a disappointing season on a high note. In the first quarter, Texas had a tough time getting anything going and went down 14-0 early. After that, the defense stepped up and the offense got into a groove, taking shots down the field and spreading out the Red Raiders’ defense. The win today leaves the Longhorns with a 7-5 record and looking towards a mid or low-tier bowl game.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger had another huge game, throwing for 348 yards and 2 touchdowns with 19/27 passing. As usual, Ehlinger was effective on the ground as well, rushing 10 times for 83 yards and a touchdown. Ehlinger officially surpassed 10,000 career yards before he got pulled for Casey Thompson late as the game was already out of reach.

Senior wide receiver Devin Duvernay had a monster performance in his last game at DKR, catching 6 passes for 199 yards and 1 touchdown. Duvernay’s score came on a beautiful 75-yard pass from Ehlinger, which Duvernay caught in stride and took to the house:

QB-turned-RB Roschon Johnson added 105 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, putting in his best performance as a Texas Longhorn. On the defensive side of the ball, Marqez Bimage was the main standout with a forced fumble, fumble recovery, and sack.

The Longhorns await Selection Day to find out where they will travel for a bowl game. The Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Florida is a popular choice among analysts, and the Longhorns could easily be headed to Florida.

Despite what your average fan would have you believe, spotting penalties in real-time when you’re on the field is extremely difficult. Luckily, some calls are easy. For instance, referee Cooper Castleberry was able to confirm that the previous play was, in fact, a pass:

Longhorns QB Sam Ehlinger officially surpasses 10,000 career all-purpose yards

Texas Longhorn QB Sam Ehlinger officially surpassed 10,000 career all-purpose yards in today’s game against Texas Tech.

It has been a successful career for Sam Ehlinger so far. In the final game of his third season, Ehlinger has officially surpassed 10,000 career all-purpose yards. Ehlinger’s 10k trails only Longhorn Legend Colt McCoy, who posted 14,824 yards over the course of his esteemed career. Ehlinger still has time to make up ground, as he should return to Texas for his senior year and put up more yardage, perhaps enough to surpass McCoy.
