OFFENSE
QB – Quinn Ewers, 75.3

The duo of Bond and Golden tallied 119 yards receiving and three touchdowns. Bond added 44 yards on the ground.
TE – Gunnar Helm, 63.3
It remains Gunnar Helm’s world, we’re just here for the show. He netted 42 yards receiving on three catches and this first quarter scoring grab.

Once again Hill Jr. led all Longhorns with eight tackles and one tackle for loss. Smith, a freshman from Jasper, notched five tackles and collected his first career interception.
