The then-No. 5 Texas Longhorns handled business early in the contest against the Florida Gators, building a big first-half lead despite their struggles and cruising to a late victory, 49-17. The Texas offense looked much improved over what we last saw against the Vanderbilt Commodores, with the defense having their worst game of the year by their increasingly high standard, despite giving up just 17 points in the contest.
Texas defense: 329 total yards (197 rushing, 132 passing)
The Texas defense looked like its normal suffocating self early in the game, holding Florida to just 43 yards in the opening frame without a score.
