One of the biggest surprises of a wild Week 2 across college football was Alabama’s narrow escape on the road in Austin against Texas.
The Crimson Tide entered the game as a near-three touchdown favorite over the Longhorns, but struggled to get out of their way most of the day until Alabama’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Bryce Young finally figured out how to solve the suffocating Texas defense.
It was a strong showing for Texas, who many never gave a chance in the matchup. The Longhorns could have absolutely won the game if a few things went their way, including the officiating.
