Texas receiver Lorenzo Joe played only one snap on offense in the Longhorns’ first five games: a 21-yard touchdown catch a blowout loss to TCU. But the sophomore turned that opportunity into a strong week of practice and his first career start against Oklahoma, where he rose to the occasion as a downfield blocker who sprung one touchdown run and might’ve saved another. Joe caught up with ESPN.com this week to discuss his rise as a new unsung hero in Texas’ offense.
You played just one snap before the Oklahoma game. How excited were you to get that start?
