In the second half, the Longhorns struck again as running back George Hastings scored a rushing touchdown, contributing to the widening margin. Also notable was a kickoff return touchdown by Austin's James Wendt early in the third quarter, capped by a 67-yard kick and 102-yard return. This sequence helped the Longhorns increase their lead to 17-10, although Richard Brown was injured on the kickoff detail but is expected to return.

The Longhorns continued to assert dominance on both sides of the ball. Stephen Davis and David Bass forced fumbles that disrupted the Terrapins' attempts to gain offensive traction.
