Texas Longhorns Football: Five plays that stood out from the win vs UTEP

Saturday’s win was memorable for Texas, despite the opponent. Here are five plays that stood out from the win against UTEP on Saturday:

Josh Thompson interception

Easily the best cornerback to play on Saturday, Josh Thompson also forced the only turnover of the game. One on one on the short side, Thompson took advantage of the overthrow by Gavin Hardison.

Texas’ offense took advantage, scoring a touchdown in three plays. Forcing turnovers is a great way to win games in conference play. Thompson’s interception was a solid start before facing Power Five level competition.
