AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas clinched a second straight 10-win season -- its first in the SEC -- leaning on its running game after an ankle injury to quarterback Quinn Ewers in a 31-14 victory over Kentucky.
After a third-quarter lull, in which Kentucky came back to cut Texas' lead to 24-14 following Ewers' fumble that was returned for a touchdown, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian pivoted and decided to exert the Longhorns' will. The result was a 15-play, 86-yard drive featuring nothing but running plays that gave Texas the final score.
