Texas and Louisiana Tech have played in a previous contest. Texas won 45-14 in Austin to open the season on August 31, 2019. Sam Ehlinger was 28 of 38 for 276 yards and four touchdowns. He added 34 yards on the ground.

Devin Duvernay And Collin Johnson caught touchdown passes and Brennan Eagles scored on two of his three catches. Keaontay Ingram scored on a one-yard touchdown run and then served as backup quarterback Casey Thompson added a 2-yard touchdown run late to tie the game at the final score.

Pre-game Louisiana Tech graduate and Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw came out as a doubter of Ehlinger and the Longhorns.

“I’ve never understood why players want to go and pile up,” Bradshaw said at the time. “Texas, for example. We open this year with Texas, and in one year they signed three (five-star) quarterbacks. Two are gone now and one who plays, you know, he’s not that good.

“And I’m like, ‘Really? (Five stars)?’ You watch them throw the football and you go, man, alive, (it’s) like they go there and they can’t throw the football. I’ll take our boys every day.”

Louisiana Tech was able to gain a total of 413 yards on Texas, most of them through the air. J’mar Smith Passed on 34 of 51 passes for 331 yards Westin Elliott was 1 of 3 for nine yards. Smith had two touchdowns and one interception. Elliott added a selection of his own.
