The Texas Longhorns survived an early-season test by defeating the Texas Tech Red Raiders 63-56 in overtime on Saturday in the Big 12 opener for both teams.
Texas looked to be on cruise control early with 31 points in the first half. Things fell apart for most of the second half, with Texas Tech taking a 56-41 lead with less than four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
Sam Ehlinger engineered two straight scoring drives to tie the game. The second drive was set up by a successful onside kick by Cameron Dicker.
Joshua Moore caught the go-ahead touchdown pass on the first possession of overtime.
