Who made the play of the Red River Showdown? Southlake Carroll’s Lil’Jordan Humphrey

Tom Herman called it the play of the game for the Texas Longhorns.

Facing a third-and-21 on the opening series of the second half, Texas wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey showed grit and determination in turning what should have been a 10-yard reception on a screen pass into a 19-yard reception by carrying multiple defenders with him.

That kept what became a TD drive alive and sent a clear message that the Longhorns weren’t going to back down. In the end, Texas prevailed in a 48-45 victory over Oklahoma to win the Red River Showdown on Saturday at Cotton Bowl Stadium.
