Fans, social media reacts to Texas football’s win over WVU
Texas football got a big win over the West Virginia Mountaineers at home on Oct. 1. Head coach Steve Sarkisian got a convincing 38-20 win over head coach Neal Brown and West Virginia at home in a convincing fashion, which was the first win in Big 12 play for Texas.
Sark and the Longhorns responded well after the tough upset loss in overtime last weekend in Lubbock to the Texas Tech Red Raiders by the final score of 37-34. Texas looked much better on all sides of the ball in this game, especially in the second half.
There were some flaws that Sark and the Longhorns still have to work through in the second half, but we saw some significant strides at the right time from this team.
Texas got going on each side of the ball before facing the Oklahoma Sooners and new head coach Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners on Oct. 8. We could see redshirt freshman quarterback Quinn Ewers return next weekend against Oklahoma after a great performance on Oct. 1 from junior Hudson Card in the win over West Virginia.
Here are some of the social media and fan reactions to note from the win over West Virginia for Texas.

I wonder if Texas QB Hudson Card knows he is warming up at the scene of the crime … pic.twitter.com/gGmh0EiEow

Ja’Tavion Sanders wins his isolation matchup and Hudson Card puts it on the money for both of their 2nd TDs on the night. 28-0 Texas with 4:22 left in the 2Q #HookEm | @Horns247 pic.twitter.com/P1pTXzMz4T

This isn’t a reaction to the win, but I wanted to include this win for tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders in this touchdown.

ESPN has the Texas win probability at 98.7 at halftime. Too low for comfort imo.

This is 1000 percent fair.

This was a scary injury to West Virginia running back CJ Donaldson. Good to hear he was cleared to travel back home.
You just won a huge road game and you’re worried about us. This is so sad man https://t.co/YG1g3UlAFz

Lol before Red River.
Good win. Card, Worthy, Sanders balled. Defense held 4 of 5 teams to 20 points now. Still need to see a full game of consistent production with only one TD in 2nd half. Better teams will make us pay for that. Gotta outscore teams in each half.

Texas Homer is right about the defense still needing to show more in the second half.
Just now on the FS1 postgame show: Chris Petersen said Hudson Card should probably get the start against Oklahoma next Saturday, even if Quinn Ewers is healthy. Food for thought.

Chris Petersen with a hot take.
Next. 4 takeaways from win over WVU. dark
Gotta love the win for the Longhorns this weekend. Next up is the must-win game over Oklahoma, which all of a sudden looks much easier than it will be. Texas comes into Red River on Oct. 8 with momentum they must capitalize.
