Texas took only one game to make a change at running back.
Tre’ Newton will get the start for the No. 5 Longhorns this week against Wyoming after scoring three touchdowns in Texas’ 34-17 season-opening win at Rice. Newton led the Longhorns with 61 yards on the ground.
Cody Johnson, who had earned the starting job after an impressive training camp, ran for 59 yards against Rice but was ineffective in key short-yardage situations.
