Texas running back Tre' Newton scored three touchdowns and finished with a team-high 18 carries for 61 yards.

The Longhorns did display a commitment to the running game as Newton, Cody Johnson, and Fozzy Whittaker combined for 42 carries.  Johnson started the game, but Newton saw an expanded role after Johnson was stopped on a fourth and goal.  Only Whittaker averaged better than four yards per carry, so this will remain a time share.  Still, round one clearly goes to Newton.
