Texas closes nonconference schedule with 30-6 win over UTSA

Texas finished its nonconference schedule with a 30-6 win over UTSA on Saturday. The Longhorns controlled the game from the opening quarter and kept the Roadrunners from turning the matchup into a late possession game.

The result gives Texas a clean bridge into conference play. The next part of the season will ask for more than a comfortable margin against a nonconference opponent, but Saturday supplied the kind of steady performance a team wants before the schedule tightens.

The 30-6 score also makes the central evaluation straightforward: Texas handled the assignment without allowing UTSA to create a fourth-quarter chase. The conference games will provide the sharper test, and the first question will be whether the Longhorns can carry the same control into those matchups.
