Forget former head coach Tom Herman’s credo for skill position players to always celebrate with offensive linemen first — Texas Longhorns junior wide receiver Jordan Whittington had a different, long awaited-celebratory partner in the south end zone during the second quarter at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium against the Iowa State Cyclones.
And that partner was even bigger than the big uglies Texas sends out into the offensive trenches. That partner was Bevo XV, all 1,700 pounds of him.
Turns out, Whittington believes he has a connection with the big steer, having shared a conversation with Bevo before the game predicting his first touchdown this season.
