14 Texas rolled to a 59-3 season-opening win over UTEP Saturday night. Ehlinger’s final touchdown pass came on a 6-yard toss to walk-on Kai Money in the final seconds of the first half. Texas' original schedule had the Longhorns visiting defending national champion LSU this weekend, in a rematch of a 2019 classic. Some Texas athletes had demanded the school drop the song because of its history involving minstrel shows and actors in blackface decades ago. But they were overpowered at the line of scrimmage and overwhelmed by Texas' speed while Longhorns receivers zipped through and around the UTEP secondary.

1 and 2 teams in this conference and they’re scheduled to face off in the Big 12 Championship Game this weekend in Dallas. How will the rest of the conference stack up in this year’s final edition of the Big 12 Power Rankings? Hubbard not only led the Big 12 in rushing yards, he also led the conference in total touchdowns and all-purpose yards. 2019 might not have been the year for Oklahoma State, they certainly proved that they can compete with just about anyone with their offense. For now, in their first-ever appearance in this game, Baylor will look to dethrone the Oklahoma Sooners and take home the Big 12 title.

The Longhorns came into this game 6-5, hoping to secure a win to finish the season after a month of football that certainly failed to meet the standards of this Texas Longhorns program. The ‘Horns avoided an upset and defeated the Red Raiders by a score of 49-24. It appeared as if Texas Longhorns defense would not be able stop this Texas Tech offense led by quarterback Jett Duffey, but the Longhorn offense kept them in the game in the first half. Despite the defensive miscues throughout the year, the Longhorns have lived and died by the play of their quarterback. Ehlinger showed his superstar potential with this toss between two defenders for a touchdown to freshman Jake Smith, who also made a phenomenal grab on the play.

While these two teams are certainly the favorites to square off again in the conference championship at the end of the season, the Texas Longhorns know better than anyone that there are no guarantees in football. Take a look at this touchdown from last year's Big 12 Championship:3. Last week's Big 12 Newcomer of the Week, Roschon Johnson, who rushed for 121 yards in a conference road win against West Virginia. However, if this Texas defense can put pressure on Hurts, they can prevent Oklahoma fromputting up 40+ points. He has been the heart and soul of this Texas team.

It was a wild week across the board as the race to Arlington for the Big 12 Championship has kicked off. It is still early in the season, but let's see where the Big 12 stacks up after the first weekend of conference play in our second weekly Big 12 Power Rankings. The defense has been solid and unfortunately for the rest of the Big 12, the Sooners step it up against conference teams. Next Game: vs. Texas Tech2. The domination the Oklahoma Sooners and their leader, Jalen Huts, is likely to increase the sense of urgency amongs the other Big 12 contenders.

9 Texas Longhorns in one of the Horns' most hyped up games in the last decade. When asked about the hype surrounding this LSU team, Texas defensive coordinator Todd Orlando reassured the media that Texas' focus was on their own preparation and said, "It's all about us." Texas got the best of LSU in that 2003 Cotton Bowl match-up, which at the time was a top-notch New Year's Day bowl game. Texas finished 11-2 that season and LSU went on to win the National Championship the following year with Saban. When asked about quarterback Burrow, Texas defensive coordinator Orlando said Burrow reminds him "a lot of our guy," in reference to Ehlinger.
