GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- DJ Lagway threw for a season-high 289 yards and two touchdowns, both to a true freshman making his college debut, and Florida upset No. 9 Texas 29-21 on Saturday to end a three-game skid.

Arch Manning and the Longhorns (3-2, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) had a chance in the final minute, thanks partly to a defensive penalty, but he threw incomplete deep and was sacked twice.

Florida (2-3, 1-1) enjoyed its first victory since beating Long Island in the season opener.

"Our fans showed up today," Florida coach Billy Napier said. "They showed up and showed out, and we are thankful for that. It was a good SEC game out there today, and I think it came down to the things that it typically does. We rushed the ball for 159 yards."
