Running back Johnathan Gray is doing his part to spring the Longhorns to the home upset with this 39-yard touchdown run that gave Texas a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter. Gray would add a second touchdown from two yards out to give Texas a 21-3 lead over West Virginia, but this run was of the highlight-reel variety.
Gray has two touchdowns and 85 yards on only five carries for an impressive 17 yards per carry average. As a team, Texas has 178 yards on 22 carries as the run game is dominating the West Virginia front seven and the scoreboard is reflective of the dominance of the Longhorn offensive line as the backs are feasting.
Texas leads West Virginia 24-3 with 1:12 remaining in the first half at the time of publishing.
