This season, the Longhorns held the offenses of their nine league opponents in check. In league action, Texas ranked first in passing yards allowed (201.4 pg), total yards allowed (357.1 pg) and passing efficiency defense (110.1 rating), and second in scoring defense (23.4 ppg). Baylor was held below 400 yards of offense (389) for the just the second time in 45 games; Oklahoma (232) had its lowest offensive yards output in seven years (230 vs. Colorado in 2007); Oklahoma State had its lowest output (192) since 2009; and TCU had 368 yards which marked a low in league play.
