ARLINGTON, Texas - The 28-year tenure in the Big 12 Conference for The University of Texas' football program began with a conference championship. And the Longhorns will conclude their stay in the league by claiming the conference's latest football title - the program's fourth Big 12 trophy and first since 2009 - following a 49-21 victory over No. 18 Oklahoma State on Saturday afternoon.
"I'd like to start by saying how happy and proud I am of these guys and our team and our players," said Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian. "This has been a heck of a journey that we've been on, and for (T'Vondre) Sweat for quite some time in the three years here with me, and then for Quinn, for two years. And it's been a journey all the way through."
