Texas vs Ole Miss recap

Back to the win column for the UT football team after Saturday's thriller at DKR, but the news isn't all good heading into this Saturday against Mississippi State. Fox 7 Sports' Cliff Thornton has more. Yet another rollercoaster of a game goes the way of the horns this time, but with Saturday's thrilling win over Ole Miss comes yet more adversity. With Texas now facing the distinct possibility of playing the rest of the season without not one but two cornerstones of the program who are also projected NFL draft first-rounders. Just a week after losing edge rusher Colin Simmons for what could be an extended amount of time, O-lineman Trevor Goosby is reportedly out for the season with a knee injury suffered on Saturday. Yeah, that's a big blow. Trevor is a vocal leader and did everything right, so just continuing to step up and, you know, back to work this Monday. I mean, look, it's, you know, I feel really bad for Trevor. Obviously really unfortunate, but I talked to them yesterday, and it's just part of the game. I'm very impressed with how we've handled things emotionally and been able to put them to the side and focus on what we need to focus on. This week's focus is on the two-game losing streak being over. That's despite the Horns' continued struggles coming out of halftime. The season-long third-quarter doldrums continued Saturday as Texas has now been outscored in the third, 31-3 in SEC play. we gotta um we gotta start fast in the second half i feel like we've done a good job in the past few weeks of you know the first drive being pretty good for the most part and we got to continue that in the third quarter on offense the most frustrating part is like here's what we're gonna do now let's go do it and historically that's been good to us it just hasn't been that way this year and so like everything i'm not opposed to making subtle tweaks and changes to what we do at halftime so there'll be probably a couple things we do different this Saturday night we're focused on what's right in front of us it's 1-0 this week and putting forth the right effort energy in practice and then taking practice to the game and that's something that we did well Saturday I think we can do it even better.
