The Maroons received the opening kickoff and returned it to the Longhorn 42-yard line. The Maroons were unable to move the sticks and turned it over on downs to the Longhorns. The defense held, and on 4th & 2 Zaine McDonald received a Longhorn fumble on the Chisolm 44-yard line.

After a couple of false start penalties moved the Maroons back, a pass interference call on the Longhorns gave Blackwell a first down on the Chisolm 31-yard line.

A holding penalty on the very next play moved Blackwell back to the 42- yard line. On 4th and 20, the maroons punted. The ball rolled into the end zone for a touchback and Chisolm took over on their own 20-yard line. The Maroon defense again stood firm and forced the Longhorns to punt from their own 6-yard line. McDonald returned the punt to the Chisolm 27-yard line. A holding call during the return backed the Maroons up to the Chisolm 41-yard line.

The Longhorns took over on their own 29-yard line. On 3rd & 1 from their own 39-yard line, a Longhorn RB took a handoff off tackle to the right and ran to the Blackwell 10-yard-line before being brought down. A holding call negated the play and pushed the Longhorns back to their own 33- yard line. On 4th & 3, the longhorns were able to rush for the first down up their 46-yard line to end the 1st quarter.

An off-sides penalty on the Maroons to start the 2nd-quarter, moved the Longhorns into Maroon territory for the first time in the game. The Longhorns found a rhythm in their running game, and along with several offsides penalties against the Maroons, were able to drive inside the Blackwell 5-yard line. A holding and unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on 2nd down pushed the Longhorns back to their own 28- yard line.

On 3rd and goal, the Longhorns completed a pass down the Maroon 11- yard line. The Maroon defense bowed up and took over on downs at their own 10-yard line.

Holding and false start penalties though hampered the Maroon drive, and they were forced to punt from their own 32-yard line.

A kick-catch interference call on the maroons during the punt gave the Longhorns the ball on the Blackwell 46-yard line. On 4th and long from the 49-yard line, the Longhorns completed a pass to the Maroon 23-yard line.
