The University of Texas (2-1, 0-0) returned home and made a statement on offense, blanking Rice (0-3, 0-0) in a 58-0 win at Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday night. Five different Longhorns scored touchdowns, highlighted by Bijan Robinson's three in the first half.

Texas wasted no time scoring, driving down the field after nine plays for 69 yards. The opening drive was capped off by a Bijan Robinson four-yard run for his fifth touchdown of the year. After picking off Casey Thompson and driving 56 yards, Rice missed a 29-yard FG attempt with just under three minutes to play in the first. Roschon Johnson took a direct snap for a career-long 72-yard rushing touchdown to give Texas a 14-0 lead.

Keilan Robinson blocked a Rice punt that rolled out the endzone, which resulted in a safety to increase the lead to 16-0. B. Robinson added his second TD of the half with a seven-yard rush up the middle, capitalizing on a nine-play drive to make it 23-0. For the third time in the first half, B. Robinson found the endzone after a 62-yard rush. It's the second time in his career with three touchdowns in a single game, matching his career high.

Casey Thompson completed his 11th pass of the half on a 20-yard TD pass to the left to find Jared Wiley and pushed Texas ahead 37-0. Texas capped its offensive downpour with a 13-yard pass for Xavier Worthy's first career touchdown to take a 44-0 lead into halftime. Keilan Robinson left everyone behind after a 65-yard touchdown run up the middle and Texas extended the lead to 51-0 after a Bert Auburn PAT.
