With its season on the brink, Texas put together two scoring drives to open the second half of Saturday's Red River Rivalry game. Along the way, the 115th-ranked third-down offense went 7-for-8 on third down and even its failed try was kind of a success.

With the third top-10 win of the Steve Sarkisian era, Texas saved its season and prevented any additional fallout from last week's loss at Florida. Following a 23-6 win over Red River rival Oklahoma, Texas is 4-2 with a 1-1 mark in SEC play. #HookEm

Texas in the first half: 2-for-6 on third down.

Texas in the third quarter: 7-for-8 on third down, and the only failure featured a 14-yard catch on a 3rd-and-long to set up a 48-yard field goal.

Texas leads 13-6 with 21 seconds left in the third quarter. #HookEm

3rd-and-1: Wisner 2-yard run
3rd-and-8: Wisner 13-yard catch
3rd-and-4: Wingo 11-yard catch
3rd-and-8: Moore 12-yard TD catch.

Oklahoma heads into halftime with a 6-3 lead over Texas. This is the lowest-scoring first half in the Red River Rivalry since Oklahoma also held a 6-3 lead after the first 30 minutes of the 2009 showdown that UT eventually won by a 16-13 score. #HookEm

Texas is on the scoreboard with a 22-yard field goal. The Longhorns had a chance for six, but Arch Manning twice threw incomplete passes from the 3-yard line. 4:24 left in the second quarter. #HookEm

Ugly offense. Texas reaches the OU 22 then backs up 14 yards on a hold, a run that lost five yards by Quintrevion Wisner, a catch that lost five yards by Jack Endries and a six-yard scramble by Arch Manning. Mason Shipley then misses a 55-yard kick. Oklahoma still up 3-0. #HookEm

Due to a bye, three road games and the Red River Rivalry game in Dallas, Texas won’t return to Royal-Memorial Stadium until Nov. 1. The Longhorns last went an entire calendar month without a home game in October 2013 (bye, two road games and Texas-OU). #HookEm

Texas QB Arch Manning on the post-touchdown taunt of a Sam Houston linebacker on Saturday: “(It was) probably a little much there. My mom was pretty mad about that. A little immature, but I think it's some built-up frustration from the past few weeks." #HookEm
September 21, 2025 at 12:56 PM
When asked if he was mad at himself, Texas QB Arch Manning replied “a little bit. I'm just frustrated. I know I’m better than this. It's a little frustrating. It's going to be hard to sleep tonight, but I'll be back rolling.” #HookEm

Texas QB Arch Manning was 5-for-16 for 69 yards and one interception. At one point in the second quarter, he went 10 straight passes without a completion.

Manning, though, rushed for two touchdowns to lift Texas to a 14-3 lead over UTEP at the half. #HookEm

Today's game opens with two failed fourth-down conversions. Arch Manning misfired on a 4th-and-4 in UTEP territory. Texas then stuffs a 4th-and-1 near midfield. #HookEm

No. 7 Texas picks up its first win of the season with a 38-7 beating of San Jose State. Twenty-eight of UT’s points were scored during a five-minute spurt in the first half. Longhorns host UTEP next week.

Texas fans, describe how you’re feeling with a GIF:

With 4:10 left in the first quarter, Texas had no points and the football at its 10-yard line. After three Arch Manning touchdown passes and two turnovers forced by the Texas defense, the Longhorns now hold a 21-0 lead with 14:45 left in the second quarter. #HookEm

End 1: Parker Livingstone 14, San Jose State 0. #HookEm
September 6, 2025 at 4:51 PM
Texas WR Parker Livingstone with an 83-yard touchdown catch and we have our first points at DKR. Texas opened its third drive with two carries by Christian Clark, who missed the 2024 season with an Achilles injury and didn't play against Ohio State. #HookEm
September 6, 2025 at 4:42 PM
San Jose State gets a chance to strike first but misses a 47-yard FG. We are still scoreless at DKR with 10:22 left in the first quarter. #HookEm
September 6, 2025 at 4:18 PM
Not a great start for Texas against San Jose State. A holding penalty by Parker Livingstone wiped out a huge gain on the game's first play and Arch's first deep attempt was a misfire that probably should be been picked. Longhorns will punt. #HookEm

For the Texas football team, are the next three weeks of nonconference play about San Jose State, UTEP and Sam Houston? Or are they about Texas, Texas and Texas?
