W 30-6 vs UTSA · Sat, Sep 19 · 3-0 overall
Misery Index · Uneasy · ▲ from 32
A 24-point win that somehow felt like a penalty-flag telethon with the broadcast on mute.
What happened
Texas won 30-6 over UTSA and moved to 3-0, which on paper is a fine Saturday and in practice sent the misery number from 44 to 59. The turning point wasn't a play; it was the realization, somewhere in the flag-strewn middle, that the offense looked "sloppy" against a team it should have buried early. Fans reached for the mute button over the broadcast, then stayed there. One noted that "in the time it took for this post game thread to be posted, two more flags were thrown." Winning has rarely felt so much like homework.
