Freshman receiver Jalen Reagor dropped a touchdown pass last week at Arkansas, but coach Gary Patterson is optimistic about what will happen when he gets another chance.
“He’ll catch it next time and go about his business,” Patterson said Monday during the Big 12 coaches conference call.
Reagor, consistently praised by Patterson in fall practices, attempted a one-handed catch on a pass over the middle at the goal line. The ball came down to his chest and waist, but he couldn’t control it and the pass fell incomplete. It would have been a 32-yard touchdown and provided breathing room in what became a 28-7 Horned Frogs victory.
