Through the first two weeks of the season, Barryn Sorrell had taken a back seat to fellow edge rushers Ethan Burke and Anthony Hill Jr., but the junior stepped up when it mattered most in Saturday's 31-10 win over Wyoming. Late in the third quarter, Wyoming methodically marched deep into UT territory with hopes of historic proportions. The Cowboys had never before beaten a team ranked in the top 10, but they had a first-and-goal from the Texas 8-yard line, trailing 10-7. On their first snap before the raucous student section in the north end of the stadium, Sorrell knifed into the backfield and stopped quarterback Evan Svoboda for no gain on a quarterback keeper.
