AUSTIN, Texas -- Tyrone Swoopes deleted the Twitter app off his phone a week ago. He says the idea was to remove a distraction he didn’t need. He knows what’s been said about him. No need for that negativity.

He wouldn’t have found any on Twitter these past few days, not after his heroic dive for the game-winning touchdown to upset No. 10 Notre Dame. The Texas fans who prayed Swoopes would not start that game are loving him again. Now would be a safe time to download Twitter again, right?

“I know just as fast as everybody can lift me up, they can put me right back down,” Swoopes said.
