This was a winnable game, but sacks and penalties killed the momentum on some good drives. Not to mention the turnovers. #Longhorns #HookEm

Again, with just one year under the belts of all these freshmen, the Horns will win games like this next season. #HookEm

Charlie Strong had his team ready to play today. They fared well against the No. 16 program in the nation, but ultimately fell a bit short.

Losses like this are the most difficult to swallow, bc Texas dominated the stat sheet. Just didn't take advantage of any of it. #HookEm
