Jones (no relation) traded rushing touchdowns, and Mark McBaeth threw a touchdown pass to Lam to make it 21–0 by the time the first quarter ended, in part due to the 33 yard average on the three punts Maryland did in the quarter. A fumbled kickoff return by Maryland gave the ball to Texas early in the second quarter, and McBaeth added a touchdown run of his own to make it 28–0. In the third quarter, a 16-yard punt by the Terrapins set up another Longhorn opportunity. A.J. Jones added in his second touchdown of the day to make it 35–0. A Johnnie Johnson interception gave the ball back to the Longhorns again. Ham Jones scored from 35 yards out to make it 42–0 two plays later.
