Texas thumps No. 22 USC, 37-14
AUSTIN, Tx -- Following two uninspiring performances to open the season, Texas decided to turn it on. And did they ever.
UT dominated in all three phases of the game as the Longhorns knocked off No. 22 Southern California, 37-14 in front of a record 103, 507 fans on an electrically charged Saturday night at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium.

Texas-USC Game Preview
The Trojans come into Austin at 1-1 with a sloppy but convincing win over UNLV and a 17-3 road loss against Stanford where they lost the battle in the trenches and learned that a true freshman QB on the road is fraught with issues - even the very talented ones.
Inside the Gameplan: The non-conference slate
Texas’ 2018 schedule is generally considered the toughest in the Big 12 and one of the harder slates nationally. This is mostly because the rest of the Big 12 isn’t opting for taking on a blueblood like USC in their non-conference slate this year (except TCU, taking on Ohio State) but it’s still fairly remarkable given that, unlike the rest of the Big 12, Texas never has to play Texas. Not literally, at least.
Horns drop nail-biter to USC in OT
LOS ANGELES -- It was almost déjà vu.
Texas came into California as an underdog to the mighty USC Trojans, and despite a ton of mistakes and some home cooking, almost pulled off the improbable behind a stellar defensive performance and true freshman QB who found his swagger in the 2nd half.
Still, the No. 4 Trojans forced overtime with no time remaining and triumphed in double overtime over the Horns, 27-24, on a Chase McGrath 43-yard FG at the LA Memorial Coliseum on Saturday night.
Five Quick Thoughts: USC 27, Texas 24 (OT)
All things considered, I'm glad Texas is playing USC again.
The game was put on Sam Ehlinger's shoulders. 40 passes that went for 298 yards (7.8 ypa) with a pair of TDs and a pair of INTs. He also led the charge on the ground with 19 carries (many of them sacks or scrambles) for 10 yards...and the crucial fumble that lost the game.
