NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Texas never led during its 37-31 loss to Washington on Monday night at the Allstate Sugar Bowl, but in a dramatic finish, had four chances to pull off the comeback win until Quinn Ewers' throw to Adonai Mitchell fell to the turf in the end zone with no time remaining.
After Jordan Whittington caught a 41-yard pass on third-and-10 with 20 seconds remaining, Texas suddenly had a real chance for a storybook finish.
"We felt magical, the whole time that we felt like it was already written," Whittington said.
