X gone give it to ya.

In Saturday’s 35-6 win over the BYU Cougars at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, the Texas Longhorns didn’t have to rely on backup quarterback Maalik Murphy to lead the offense in order to take an early lead.

Junior wide receiver Xavier Worthy handled that on his own early in the first quarter, fielding a 55-yard punt, immediately making a BYU player miss, and hitting a crease up the middle for a 74-yard touchdown, the first special teams score of his career.
