The No. 7 Texas Longhorns survived a tremendous upset attempt from the No. 23 Kansas State Wildcats en route to a 33-30 overtime home win on Saturday.
Unfortunately, it was not the best of days for Texas quarterback Maalik Murphy, who has started for Quinn Ewers the last two games as the latter recovers from a Grade 2 AC joint sprain in his right shoulder.
Murphy, a 6'5'", 238-pound redshirt freshman, initially took over for Ewers after he got hurt during a 31-24 win over Houston on Oct. 21. He started Saturday hot by completing 7-of-11 passes for 152 yards and a score, but he finished with just 19-of-37 completed attempts for 248 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
