During Saturday’s game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Stillwater, the Texas Longhorns wide receivers were asked to do something they’ve struggled with all season — consistently beat man coverage often enough to win the game.
Thanks to four turnovers created by the Longhorns defense and the 100-yard kickoff return touchdown by junior cornerback D’Shawn Jamison, other game factors made that a relatively low bar to clear.
And that was crucial, because Texas senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger only completed 53 percent of his passes at five yards per attempt.
