Watch: Texas-Maryland Had Two Blocked Field Goals Returned For Touchdowns in the First Half

It's been a wild one in Austin so far.

Texas' first game under Tom Herman has been a weird one so far, and not in a good way. 

The Longhorns trail Maryland 30-14 at halftime and have not scored an offensive touchdown. But what's truly odd is that there have been two blocked field goals returned for touchdowns in the first half.

Maryland did the deed first, as Antoine Brooks blocked Joshua Rowland's 44-yard attempt and returned it 71-yards for a score.

Texas's Holton Hill returned the favor by blocking Adam Greene's attempt and returning it 65 yards to the house.

Hill's having quite the season-opener—he also had a 31-yard pick-six in the first half.
