The No. 1 Texas Longhorns played one of their worst games of the season at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday against the Mississippi State Bulldogs and still managed to come away with a comfortable 35-13 win thanks to a fourth-quarter offensive explosion.
Despite the struggles, Texas came out of its first SEC game with a win, but the margin was not quite the five-touchdown cushion the betting lines indicated. Heading into the bye week, the Longhorns have plenty to coach as they look to the Oklahoma Sooners and Georgia Bulldogs on the other side of the break.
