The Texas Longhorns kicked off against the Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday evening. Texas got off to as poor a start as you could expect. The Longhorns allowed Wyoming running back Harrison Waylee to house a 62-yard touchdown run to give the Cowboys a 7-0 lead.
It was the kind of start that has exhausted Texas faithful for several years. And while we expected a slow-starting first half, we didn’t expect the defense to be the culprit.
Fortunately, we saw a change in quality of play as the game progressed. Though starting quarterback Quinn Ewers struggled to consistently connect with receivers, the Texas running game imposed its will on the Wyoming defensive front.
Here are a few of the highlights and reactions from the first half of play.
