The question all week was how would the No. 21 Texas Longhorns look coming off a physically and emotionally-taxing game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. In years past, Texas has played up for big games and had a deflating performance right after.
When the UTSA Roadrunners went up 17-7 thanks to an onside kick and a trick play, it felt like another “here we go again” moment in a long string of them. But the Longhorns did what they seemingly couldn’t do in years past, respond to the adversity and not only win but win decisively.
