No. 11 Texas overwhelms No. 3 Alabama with fourth-quarter surge to win 34-24

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Fifteen seconds. That’s how long it took to turn Texas from an underachiever to a threat, from a program in the wilderness to a program that’s legitimately back.

With 14:05 left in the fourth quarter, Texas was down against Alabama, 16-13, behind for the first time all game. Three plays and 15 seconds later, Texas was up 27-16 and in firm control. The Longhorns would never look back, going on to win 34-24.

Alabama can attest: Texas is, most definitely, back.
