he majority of the record-setting 103,507 fans at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium could feel it. Texas was moments away from its first signature win of the Tom Herman era. Despite all of the storylines heading into Texas’ primetime matchup with No. 22 USC, from the 2006 Rose Bowl to last year’s instant classic in Los Angeles, one narrative rose to the top: Herman has yet to record a victory in a marquee game. As the clock hit triple zeros Saturday night, cementing Texas’ 37-14 win over the Trojans, the Longhorns finally celebrated on the national stage. “The team, psychologically, I think definitely this was a big step for them,” Herman said. “To realize what they’re capable of, not just talk about
it and be close to it, but actually realize it and go execute it at a very high level against a really good opponent.” After falling behind 14-3, Texas ripped off a 20-0 run to give the Longhorns a 23-14 lead. But it wasn’t until the third quarter that freshman defensive back Caden Sterns and senior linebacker Anthony Wheeler sent DKR into a frenzy. With 6:38 remaining in the third quarter, USC attempted to cut into Texas’ lead with a 50-yard field goal from Chase McGrath, the same kicker who hit the game-winning field goal in last year’s double overtime thriller. USC snapped the ball right as Sterns flew through the Trojan line to swat the ball right off of McGrath’s foot. The ball flew over 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Sterns sprinted toward the ball but had trouble picking it up off the turf. It was Wheeler who rushed in,

The building formerly known as the Liberal Arts Building, located next to the Student Activity Center, was renamed to Patton Hall during the summer. However, the renaming ceremony took place Friday with Bobby and Sherri Patton, who donated $20 million to the College of Liberal Arts. After receiving the gift, COLA used the money to create the Patton challenge. When there is a donation of $100,000 or more, the Patton fund donates the same amount through the challenge. “It’s a wonderful thing to see the largest gift in the

It is not just a nickname anymore. The Wendy’s located inside of Jester Center was officially renamed to “Jendy’s” Friday. Chris Corley, executive creative director for VML, a marketing agency that runs advertising for Wendy’s, said they noticed the recent closure of the Wendy’s in the Texas Union Building bothered a lot of UT students. The name change aimed to show students that they are listening. “Students had a little bit of outrage about the closing of the last Wendy’s, but they kept referring to this one in Jester as Jendy’s,” Corley said. “We

thought it would be great if we could just come here and rebrand the whole thing as Jendy’s to prove that we get the students.” Christina Miller, director for social strategy for VML, said they browse Twitter to find out what Wendy’s fans are talking about. They used this strategy when Nevada teen Carter Wilkerson asked the Wendy’s Twitter account how many retweets he would need to receive a lifetime supply of chicken nuggets. After 18 million retweets, Wilkerson broke the record for the most retweeted tweet ever. “Wendy’s loves to find opportunities like that on social media and finding how
