LANDOVER, Md. -- Mother Nature just had to interrupt No. 23 Texas' season opener with Maryland at FedEx Field, but what it did was ultimately delay a familiar scene from last season -- the Longhorns falling apart in crunch time.
"A lot of people are gonna want to say it feels a lot like last year," Texas coach Tom Herman said after the game. "It doesn't to me. We got a lot to learn from."
Texas fell 34-29 to Maryland on Saturday and closed the game with three straight turnovers. Here are five takeaways:
