On the next drive, Ehlinger ran for a 14-yard touchdown to give Texas a 14-0 lead. The Longhorns would never look back, as their defense shut down the Bears the rest of the way.
The Longhorns’ defense was led by safety Caden Sterns and linebacker Joseph Ossai. Sterns had two interceptions and Ossai had two sacks and a forced fumble. The Longhorns’ defensive line also had a strong performance, holding the Bears to just 87 yards rushing.
