No. 4 Texas Longhorns try to stay grounded even as hype level soars after beating Alabama

The hype is coming for the Texas Longhorns like it hasn’t in years. That’s what happens when you knock off Alabama on the road and get your first win over a top-five team in 15 years. The Longhorns, who vaulted seven spots to No. 4 in the AP Top 25 on Sunday following that 34-24 win, seem determined not to get swept up in it. It’s still early September, after all. Alabama fell from third to 10th. “Game over with,” Longhorns receiver Xavier Worthy said, after it had been over with for an hour or so.

Hook 'em Horns! No. 11 Texas, Ewers pull off 34-24 victory at No. 3 Alabama

Quinn Ewers finished what he started last season, passing for 349 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 11 Texas to a 34-24 victory over third-ranked Alabama on Saturday night in a huge win for a program trying to climb back into national championship contention. The Longhorns (2-0) delivered the biggest victory under Steve Sarkisian in a game that slipped away last season after a red-hot Ewers exited because of a first-quarter shoulder injury. He was back and with another big weapon in Adonai Mitchell. This amounted to a welcome-to-the-Southeastern Conference moment for a program set

No. 4 Alabama, No. 11 Texas meet in rematch of last year's down-to-wire game

Texas gained credibility. Alabama showed vulnerability. But that was last year’s game between the two traditional football powers and soon-to-be Southeastern Conference opponents. The 11th-ranked Longhorns and No. 4 Crimson Tide meet again Saturday night in Tuscaloosa sporting high rankings and even higher ambitions. “It just presents a new challenge for us to see who we are as a program and test our culture,” Texas center Jake Majors said. “I think it’s going to be a really good game.” The last one sure was, if not exactly a thing of beauty. A penalty-plagued Alabama won last year in Austin 20-19
