Sept. 14, 2013
Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium/Joe Jamail Field
TEAM NOTES
• Series: With the loss, Texas now leads the series 6-2. The Longhorns had their three-game winning streak in the series snapped.
• Block Party: The Longhorns came up with their first blocked kick of the season when Malcom Brown deflected a third quarter PAT. The Longhorns had seven blocked kicks last season, which tied for third in the FBS. Texas has 71 blocked kicks since 2001, the most in the nation over that span.
• Big Crowd: Tonight's attendance of 101,474 is the third largest in Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium history. There was a record crowd of 101,851 for last year's West Virginia game and 101,624 fans came through the turnstiles for the 2011 Rice contest. It was the 23rd all-time crowd in excess of 100,000.
• Honorary Captain: One of Texas' all-time great basketball players, Kevin Durant, served as honorary captain.
