AUSTIN, Texas — Of all the memorable plays from the 45-38 victory by the LSU Tigers over the Texas Longhorns on Saturday, the 61-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow to Justin Jefferson on 3rd and 17 with two and a half minutes remaining represents one of the game’s greatest turning points.
With the LSU lead pushed to 14 points following the successful two-point conversions, the game was all but over — Texas had a chance to recover an onside kick and score a touchdown with 22 seconds remaining, but there’s a reason why the win probability for the Tigers jumped to 99.
