Bijan Robinson scored the touchdown as Texas and Alabama were tied at 10. 0:20.
Steve Sarkisian gave a warning to the Longhorns after they nearly upset Alabama.
To quote my old boss, we need to be careful of the rat poison of people telling us how good we are. Everyone said how bad we were a week ago. Everyone wants to know how great we are. To quiet the noise outside of our building, we need to focus on ourselves.
In front of a record 105,213 fans at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, Alabama had to kick a field goal with 10 seconds left to beat the Longhorns. The Longhorns were a 21.5 point favorite going into the game, the largest spread at home since 1978.
I'm getting the text messages as well so I wanted to address it. I'm receiving calls. Hey, you guys are doing well. You look good. We have more work to be done.
The Longhorns will face a UTSA team that won the Conference USA title. The two system schools are facing each other for the first time. The Longhorns have not lost to a current Group of 5 team since 1994 when Rice was a Southwest Conference rival. The Roadrunners lost to Houston in triple-overtime and then beat Army in overtime.
Sarkisian said that they have their attention. We put the tape on for them this morning. They make you pay attention. We need to be prepared to leave.
The defense's performance against Alabama's offense included two sacks and pressure on 12 dropbacks. He said it was important that the Longhorns did not rest on their laurels.
"Like I told the team, in particular the defense, but the team in general, we've now created a new standard of what's acceptable, what is our standard of play." We are held to the standard of defense. We need to surpass that standard. Now is not the time to relax; now is the time to take action. Now is the time to push harder.
After the game on Saturday, Sarkisian was asked if the perception of Texas football had changed, even though the Longhorns lost.
"I don't pay much attention to it," he said. I want our team to do well. The perception is irrelevant. We were supposed to walk out there and get destroyed. I'm not sure. It's much less for perception.
There will be a lot of interest going into the game. When asked who would be taking first-team snaps in practice this week, he wouldn't say.
He said it was for him.
In the first quarter of the Longhorns' loss to Alabama, Ewers was injured and went to the locker room, but returned to the game in street clothes. According to sources, Ewers will be out for at least a month due to a shoulder injury. Card replaced him and finished the game, even though he was hobbled by an ankle injury.
Bijan Robinson said his shoulder was banged up but that he would get treatment and see how it felt. D'Shawn Jamison, the fourth all time in Texas history in kick return yards, went out with an ankle injury in the first half and did not come back.
They are all day-to- day. "I don't know." We're going to have to keep an eye on them. It's not surgery-driven and it's not structural for these guys. The thing is not broken. It's not broken bones. When we can get them back, we just have to monitor them day-to-day.
If Card had to leave the game, the next man up would be redshirt freshman Charles Wright, who warmed up on the sideline at one point. The quarterback, who was a four-star recruit, is not healthy, according to the coach.
