Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert completed 14 of 23 passes for 172 yards in his first start. He added 11 rushing yards on two attempts.
Gilbert had his ups and downs during the game, at times delivering passes right on the money while short-hopping his receivers on others. The Longhorns made good on their promise to have him under center more as they focus on the running game. Gilbert will improve with experience and has the tools to be successful, but he's not a fantasy starter right now.
