In spite of missing quarterback Quinn Ewers, the No. 7 Texas Longhorns took care of business at home and moved to 7-1 on the year, their best start since the 2009 season.
It looked a bit dicey early, with backup quarterback Maalik Murphy turning the ball over twice as he adjusted to the speed of the game and got his feet underneath him. Thankfully for Longhorn fans, the Texas defense was up to the task of shutting down BYU while Murphy settled in and closed the game better than he started.
