Kyler Murray was good in Dallas. Ehlinger was better. In fact, Ehlinger was so good running Tom Herman’s attack Saturday that he spearheaded the most-ever points scored, 48, by a Texas team in the Red River Rivalry. The sophomore accounted for five touchdowns in the Longhorns’ thrilling win, throwing for two, running for three and accounting for 386 total yards.

The Bulldogs, losers of two straight entering the weekend, needed to beat Auburn in the worst possible way in Starkville. And that’s what they got, thanks to Sweat’s pressure and the running of QB Nick Fitzgerald and RB Kylin Hill. Sweat terrorized Tiger QB Jarrett Stidham off the edge, sacking him three times, pressuring him twice and forcing one of MSU’s two fumble recoveries.
