It took the Texas Longhorns two drives to score two touchdowns. Oklahoma State's defense looked like a lost cause as Quinn Ewers led the Longhorns by converting each of his six passes for 121 yards on the first two drives.
The Cowboys came into this game as two-touchdown underdogs, so the books expected this game to be a beatdown in favor of the Longhorns. Still, the Cowboys weren't going to go away despite going down 14-0 early.
In response, Kasey Dunn and the Cowboys' offense began to move the ball. Alan Bowman got into a bit more of a rhythm with Ollie Gordon and Sesi Vailahi both making plays from the backfield.
Eventually, though, the drive ended with Bowman finding Brennan Presley in the end zone on a third and goal strike.

Presley's impact on this offense is game-changing. He's going to be a player to watch as the Cowboys seemingly are going to have to match a high-powered offense that the Longhorns are going to bring.
The Cowboys' offense has the pressure to keep up in what has the early mold of being a potential shootout, the only fitting way for Texas to play their last Big 12 game.
