Florida Hands No. 7 Texas Second Straight Loss in 27-24 Comeback
After stumbling against Oklahoma in last weekend’s Red River Rivalry, the Longhorns looked to avoid their first back-to-back losses since the 2021 season. Texas got off to a hot start Saturday, but Florida weathered the early storm and rallied for a 27-24 road win in Austin.
The Good Fast starts have been hard to come by for the Longhorns this season. Against Florida, however, they came out firing. Raleek Brown opened the scoring with a 32-yard touchdown run, followed by a Gianni Spetic field goal and a Ryan Niblett punt-return touchdown. Those plays gave Texas a 17-3 lead early in the second quarter.
Texas went for it on fourth down near midfield before halftime but failed to convert. Florida took over and executed its two-minute offense, capping the drive with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Tramell Jones Jr to Lacota Dippre with just 18 seconds left in the half.
