The 15th-ranked Texas Longhorns used a walk-off field goal to survive a scare from the Kansas Jayhawks and pull out a 50-48 victory on Saturday night.
After Texas took a 47-70 lead with 2:47 remaining, Kansas went 75 yards in 96 seconds for a touchdown. But instead of playing for overtime, Les Miles went for the lead—and it paid off:
At that point, Ehlinger had 71 seconds to try to make something happen or find his team on the wrong side of a stunning upset. It took him approximately 30 seconds to get the Longhorns in field-goal range, and Cameron Dicker ultimately won the game with a 33-yard field goal as time expired.
