The Longhorns have again fallen out of the AP Poll, and this time could be for the rest of the season.

One week after the devastating loss to rival Oklahoma, Texas followed up with another uninspiring second half performance in which they blew a double digit lead against No.12 Oklahoma State. A game in which they were controlling in the first half.

However, the passing game was nonexistent, and for some reason Steve Sarkisian decided to stop giving the ball to his Heisman contender running back Bijan Robinson.

Oklahoma State played their game, and ended up securing a win, while handing Texas their second straight loss. It now makes Texas 0-5 a in the past five years in the game after they have lost to Oklahoma.
