“Shhh.”
In the cramped end zone of T. Boone Pickens Stadium on Halloween, Texas Longhorns junior cornerback D’Shawn Jamison held one finger in front of his facemask, requesting some quiet from a stunned home crowd.
He’d already discarded the football he’d just carried 100 yards for a kickoff return touchdown and he’d out-raced his teammates by such a distance that they were still arriving to celebrate with him.
For a Longhorns team that ended the upset victory over the No. 6 Oklahoma State Cowboys in overtime with a three-percent win expectancy, the lowest of a winning team during the 2020 season, Jamison’s return midway through the third quarter spurred the comeback victory.
