The team believes the visiting locker room could have been a bit cooler, though.
Orgeron told reporters this week that the Tigers brought their own blowers and fans to Austin on the recommendation of someone on staff at Louisiana Tech, which had visited Texas earlier this season.
"They felt it was very hot," Orgeron said. "All I did was make sure we had air conditioners and blowers. ... Saturday, it was fine, it was a little stuffy in there. Whether the air conditioner was on or not, I'm not sure."

To set the record straight, Texas released a spreadsheet Thursday that showed the thermostat temperatures in the visiting locker room during the game Saturday, according to ESPN. The records show that the thermostat was set to 68 degrees, with the locker room temperature averaging between 72-73 degrees.
The outside air temperature at kickoff was 95 degrees, and several LSU players experienced cramps during the game.
Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said the complaints were the "first we've heard of any issues in that area" when the first allegations of an uncomfortable situation in the visitors' locker room bubbled up earlier this week.
"We provide one of the best visitor setups available and are proud of the efforts we put forth in hosting our guests," Del Conte said in a statement. "Our facilities staff did not receive any complaints from either Louisiana Tech or LSU, and we've confirmed that our air conditioning in the visiting locker room is in good working order."
