You can’t yet say that the Texas Longhorns have fully exorcised their demons against Oklahoma State, but a 36-30 win over the Cowboys proved something; Texas knows how to win ugly.
“We’ve been telling them since we got here that our best was good enough, but less than our best probably wasn’t. Tonight we took a step,” Texas head coach Tom Herman said following the game. “We played less than our best and still beat a really, really good football team.”
The Longhorns may not have played their best game of the season, but many of the lessons learned and individual performances set them up to succeed as they dive into Big 12 play following the bye week.
