The last time Texas defeated an AP top-3 team on the road was on December 6, 1969 against 2nd-ranked Arkansas. Texas was No. 1 at the time and the game was dubbed the "Game of the Century".

If Texas pulls off upset tonight, QB Quinn Ewers could be headed to the Heisman. 3 of last 5 QBs that beat Bama & Nick Saban in Tuscaloosa – LSU’s Joe Burrow, Texas A&M’s Johnny Manziel & Auburn’s Cam Newton – won the Heisman
