HOUSTON — On Tuesday, Texas Longhorns junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger talked about playing to the Texas standard regardless of the opponent.
“Really proud of our team,” head coach Tom Herman said after the game. “Certainly the way that they started, they did what we asked them to do all week, which was to put last week behind them. We said all week that you don’t prove to yourself that you’re an elite team by winning every top-10 matchup you face. Sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don’t. This week was going to be a big test.
