And now for the fireworks portion of the show. Texas’ Quinn Ewers threw two touchdown passes to tight end Gunnar Helm in perhaps the final home game of his career, and the third-ranked Longhorns held on for a sloppy 31-14 win over Kentucky on a sun-splashed Saturday afternoon to set up next weekend’s high-stakes showdown with Texas A&M.

With one game left in the regular season, Texas (10-1, 6-1) remains atop the SEC standings and in control of its own fate as a handful of teams look to secure the two spots in the conference's championship game.

The Longhorns can earn a berth in the SEC title game when they face No. 15 Texas A&M next week as that rivalry resumes after a 12-year break.
