Texas football: Game balls for the Longhorns' win over Oklahoma State

Texas had a lot to be happy about during its 36-30 win over Oklahoma State. These Longhorns stood out above all the others.

Sam Ehlinger

The quarterback wasn't always at his best, but a b-plus game from the Texas junior is better than an A-game from most quarterbacks in the country at this point

He went 20-for-28 for 281 yards and four touchdowns and carried the ball 10 times for 70 yards, including the game-winning 29-yard bootleg on a third-and-nine that allowed Texas to run out the clock.

Ehlinger isn't atop many of the Heisman lists right now, but he's staying within striking distance with consistent performances. He also continues his assault on the Texas passing record book, claiming numerous marks previously held by the likes of Colt McCoy, Major Applewhite and Chris Simms.

Devin Duvernay

If it's a money down you can usually bet that Sam Ehlinger is looking for Devin Duvernay. He continues to pace the team in catches and receiving yards after a 12-catch, 108-yard performance against Oklahoma State.

Duvernay's emergence has been vital for a Texas offense that has played without Collin Johnson the past two weeks.

Brandon Jones

Jones was all over the field against Oklahoma State, leading the team in both passes broken up and tackles for loss with two of each.

Jones' superb play has been a welcome surprise to Longhorn fans as the team continues to deal with injuries.

Malcolm Roach

The Texas defensive lineman looked like a monster against Oklahoma State, helping Texas keep a lid on one of the best rushing attacks in the country.

At no point was Roach's dominance more on display than a fourth down in the second half. Mike Gundy elected to go for it, challenging Texas with another run from Chuba Hubbard, but Roach blew the play up by caving in the entire left side of the Cowboys' offensive line and driving two blockers into the backfield. He didn't get credit for the tackle, but definitely deserves credit for the play.

Chris Adimora

Adimora made two of the biggest plays of the game, coming up with a huge pass broken up in the fourth quarter, then recovering an Oklahoma State onside kick after it took a wacky bounce off the turf at DKR Memorial Stadium.

Not bad for a guy who wasn't on the team's two-deep depth chart to start the week.

Keontay Ingram

Ingram set a new career high with 115 rushing yards and added one catch for 26 yards.

We heard all offseason about Ingram adding muscle and prepping himself to become an every-down back who can handle a 20-carry workload and on Saturday finally looked the part.

Texas fans have to be excited to see Ingram continue to get his confidence back after a shaky start to 2019.
