The Texas Longhorns have developed a bad habit of blowing 20-point leads over the last month.
Against Houston last month, Texas was up 21-0 in the second quarter. That same game Texas was tied in the fourth quarter 24–24 before a late touchdown by CJ Baxter took the lead and a fourth-down stop at the Longhorns 10-yard line sealed the victory.
Texas was up 27–7 against Kansas State at home two weeks ago. That game went into overtime and the Longhorns won by three, 33–30, when the Wildcats went for it in fourth down in the first overtime and couldn’t convert.
