(Photo by Brian Bahr/Getty Images) Brian Bahr/Getty Images Show Less STILLWATER, Okla. — The eighth Saturday of the regular season presented Texas with a chance to make a statement, to cement itself as a legitimate challenger and prove the growth it’d shown over the past three weeks wasn’t just a convincing illusion. Oklahoma State gained 318 and scored 24. Instead, the 20th-ranked Longhorns (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) unraveled against No. Instead, the 20th-ranked Longhorns (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) unraveled against No. 11 Oklahoma State (6-1, 3-1) inside Boone Pickens Stadium.

But a lot of what happened today was self-inflicted wounds. The redshirt freshman sprinkled in a few impressive strikes, though, and was able to find receiver Xavier Worthy in space for a 12-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter.” Texas will have a long time to sit and stew over this loss. The Longhorns don’t play again until Nov.

Some notes and takeaways from the Longhorns’ latest letdown: A tough day at the office for Ewers Max Olsen of The Athletic pulled out an eye-opening statistic after the game went final: Texas redshirt freshman Quinn Ewers became the third FBS quarterback since 2000 to attempt at least 49 passes with fewer than 20 completions. Ewers finished the day 19 of 49 for 319 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. Ewers finished the day 19 of 49 for 319 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions. And like it has so many times before under Sarkisian, Texas eventually let its halftime lead evaporate. He was picked off on Texas’ first and last drives and once more on the Longhorns’ penultimate drive. Most of Ewers’ success came on quick hitters. Most of Ewers’ success came on quick hitters. On defense, tackle Brendon Evers announced earlier this week he will not play the rest of the season. Screen passes and short routes where he had to deliver the ball quickly and accurately. But Worthy appeared to misjudge a deep ball from Ewers in the end zone, and Auburn pushed a 46-yard field goal wide left following that third-down incompletion. But Ewers struggled to link up with his wideouts when throwing outside the numbers and downfield – star receiver Xavier Worthy finished with 78 yards and one touchdown, but he hauled in just four of a season-high 16 targets.

I thought it got a little leaky,” Sarkisian said of the offensive line. I thought it got a little leaky,” Sarkisian said of the offensive line. Green dragged cornerback D’Shawn Jamison for a few yards before shedding him, then slipped away from two nearby defenders to break loose for a go-ahead 41-yard touchdown with 3:09 remaining. “At times, I thought (Ewers) was a little jittery in the pocket. Korie Black and Cam Smith started at cornerback. But we didn’t help him. But we didn’t help him. We tried to help him with some easier throws but it wasn’t effective enough. But with eight seconds left, safety Kendal Daniels picked off Ewers to seal the win for Oklahoma State. That’s on me. That’s on me. We’ve got to have a better plan in place to execute at a higher level.” Texas can’t overcome the penalty discrepancy Texas was penalized 14 times for 119 yards.” Texas can’t overcome the penalty discrepancy Texas was penalized 14 times for 119 yards. Oklahoma State wasn’t flagged once. Six of the Cowboys’ 32 first downs came courtesy of a Texas penalty. Six of the Cowboys’ 32 first downs came courtesy of a Texas penalty. And four of the 14 penalties occurred either in the red zone or moved Oklahoma State into the red zone. The lack of discipline was stunning for Texas, which had amassed 13 penalties for 105 yards during its previous three-game winning streak. The lack of discipline was stunning for Texas, which had amassed 13 penalties for 105 yards during its previous three-game winning streak. Sarkisian said he didn’t believe Texas had any jitters playing in a raucous road environment – aside from Ewers, apparently – but when your offense is called for a false start on five separate occasions, something is clearly going on with their mental focus. “I didn’t think we were jittery at all,” Sarkisian said. “I didn’t think we were jittery at all,” Sarkisian said. “But for whatever reason, we had some procedural issues offensively. And we had (four) pass interferences defensively. And we had (four) pass interferences defensively. So there’s things that are very correctable that we can get fixed and will get fixed.” All those penalties also contributed to another glaring discrepancy.” All those penalties also contributed to another glaring discrepancy. Oklahoma State converted on half of its 18 third downs, including three on its game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter. Texas converted just 3 of 17 third downs and failed on both of its fourth-down attempts. Oklahoma State eliminated the run Oklahoma State couldn’t stop Bijan Robinson or Roschon Johnson in the first half. Texas’ talented running backs kept breaking big plays, shedding tacklers and weaving through running lanes. Robinson gave Texas the lead on a 42-yard run and added to it with a 41-yard catch-and-run touchdown off an effective wheel route. Johnson shot right through the heart of Oklahoma State’s defense on a 52-yard run to put Texas up 31-17 late in the second quarter. By halftime, Robinson had 134 total yards (93 rushing) and Johnson had 68 rushing yards. In the second half, they were limited to 52 total yards and 4.3 yards per carry. The Longhorns’ sudden inability to run and extend drives were the primary reasons behind its offensive malaise. Texas in the second half made one field goal, missed another, punted five times and threw two interceptions. “They did a really good job of getting past blocks and getting in the backfield,” Robinson said of the Cowboys’ run defense. "It was very deflating," Johnson added."But the only thing I know how to do is work. So you can either hang your head low and mope or just go back to work and try to see what you did wrong. " .
