Chris Warren finally got his chance to showcase his skills.
Warren rushed for freshmen school-record 276 yards and scored four touchdowns in his first start. He ripped off a 91-yard touchdown run to tie the game at 10. He added three more rushing scores in the second half as the Longhorns constantly fought from behind to stay in the game. For the game, Texas rushed for 403 yards while passing for just 64.
Warren was the Texas offense on Thursday. Texas played without Jonathan Gray and D’Onta Foreman. Both were nursing injuries and unable to go.
