AUSTIN, Texas — All alone in the end zone on the biggest stage in college football, Keaontay Ingram did something he’d never done before in Austin — drop a football.
On 4th and goal from the LSU 2-yard line in the first quarter, the Texas sophomore running back was the intended receiver for an important play. Having failed to score on a third-down pass by junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger, the Longhorns were still in position to take an important early lead and head coach Tom Herman wanted to take advantage.
Herman even dialed up the perfect call.
