Texas' 30-27 loss to Oklahoma State dropped the team to 1-3 overall and 0-1 in Big 12 play. It's the first time Texas lost three of its first four games since 1956.

The Longhorns aren't ready to give up after a tough loss to the Cowboys, however.. Safety Dylan Haines, who's second-half interception was one of three takeaways by the defense Saturday, said the Longhorns believe they're capable of salvaging something out of the 2015 season because the players believe this is a good football team.

“You can look at us and see a 1-3 team, but that’s not where we are and that’s not anywhere close to where we’ll be at the end of the season,” Haines said. “Obviously, like I said, it was disappointing that we couldn’t finish, but if you look at it, a total of four points and we’re 3-1. We know what we have, we’re not a bad football team.”

There have been signs over the last two games of Texas improving, but that might not mean a whole lot give the competition coming up over the next two weeks.

The Longhorns hit the road this weekend to face No. 4 TCU and return to the Metroplex one week later to face No. 15 Oklahoma. Texas also has No. 5 Baylor and No. 23 West Virginia left to play on the road this season along with home games against Kansas State (3-0) and Texas Tech (3-1).

The rest of the Big 12 schedule makes qualifying for a bowl game a formidable challenge for the Longhorn, something the team is ready to face.

“That isn’t going to be a problem,” defensive tackle Hassan Ridgeway said. “When we lose, we’re not going to go down. We’re going to learn from it. Just like we learned from it last week and we came out with a better mindset and we came to win. We had some tough breaks, but we’re going to fight every week.”
