When Texas got the ball back, Ewers was given the honors of taking a knee in what is expected to be his final game at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (unless Texas hosts a College Football Playoff game). The Longhorns travel to play No. 15 Texas A&M at Kyle Field in the return of the historic Lone Star Showdown for the first time since 2011.

At one point in the game, Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers went down with an ankle injury in the first half. While head coach Steve Sarkisian said that Ewers was "fine," it was clear throughout the game that the leg was bothering him, and limiting his mobility.
