The Texas Longhorns picked up a huge win on the road over Alabama in Week 2, dominating Nick Saban’s squad in Tuscaloosa which catapulted the Longhorns to the No. 4 ranking in the latest AP Top 25 Poll.
One of the standouts for Texas was on the defensive side of the ball, with freshman linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. coming up clutch for his team.
