The Maryland Terrapins upset the No. 23 Texas Longhorns 51-41 Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas.

The game marked Tom Herman's debut as head coach for the Longhorns, and his team couldn't overcome a 30-14 halftime deficit.

The running game was the biggest difference, as Maryland rushed for 263 yards on 43 carries with four touchdowns, led by Ty Johnson and his 132 yards and one score on 12 totes.

Life after D'Onta Foreman didn't start well for Texas, as evidenced by its yards-per-carry average of just 3.2 on 31 rushing attempts.
