Super Bowl LX Recap: Walker Leads Seahawks past Patriots; Texas Alums Earn Rings

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl Champions once again. Behind an MVP performance from running back Kenneth Walker III, Seattle defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium.

While the headlines will rightly focus on Walker's 135 rushing yards and the Seahawks' stifling defense, the victory also means new jewelry for a pair of Texas Longhorns legends.

Dickson & Murphy II: Champions

Michael Dickson, the Australian-born punter who rewrote record books at Texas (2015-17), played a crucial role in the field position battle. Dickson averaged 48.2 yards per punt, pinning the Patriots inside the 20-yard line three times, forcing New England's rookie quarterback to traverse long fields all night against a ferocious pass rush.

That pass rush was anchored by Byron Murphy II. The former first-round pick and Texas defensive tackle was a disruptive force, recording 3 pressures and helping limit the Patriots' ground game to just 62 yards. Murphy's ability to collapse the pocket was instrumental in Seattle's ability to control the tempo of the game.

A Tough Night for Aggies

On the opposing sideline, it was a somber end to the season for the New England Patriots and their Texas A&M contingent. Offensive lineman Layden Robinson battled valiantly in the trenches but could not stem the tide of Seattle's defensive front. Safety Brenden Schooler (Texas) also saw action on special teams for the Patriots.
