It has been twenty years since the Longhorns lost to the Horned Frogs, but that all changed on Thanksgiving. The Texas offense struggled against TCU, giving up three turnovers before reaching the end zone. Ultimately, turnovers defined this game.

"It's hard to overcome three turnovers early." Co-offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin said. "You put yourself in that position and it doesn't matter who you're playing. That's going to be very difficult and that's what happened tonight."
