UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — Memphis had the 21-point comeback all but sealed. Brady White had finally completed the throw he had missed all day — a 32-yard seam route to Calvin Austin III — and the set was stage for a game-winning field goal. The final 1:22 were supposed to be a formality.
And then a Junior Aho play changed everything.
In the span of 68 seconds, Aho poked the ball out of White’s hands and watched as Elijah Chatman fell on it. On the ensuing snap, Ulysses Bentley IV broke free for a 14-yard scamper into Memphis territory.
