A Texas Longhorns wide receiving corps rendered thin by injuries and attrition will receive a much-needed boost this weekend against the West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown after head coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed on Thursday that junior wide receiver Jordan Whittington will play.
The 6’1, 203-pounder missed the last four games after suffering a broken clavicle against Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl — when Whittington went down, Texas was 4-1 with a chance to upset the rival Sooners. Since Whittington’s injury, the Longhorns haven’t won a single game, currently sitting in the midst of the program’s first five-game losing streak since 1956.
