AUSTIN, Texas — With nothing but open field in front of Texas Longhorns wide receiver Xavier Worthy on Saturday against the TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth, the star pass catcher lost his balance and fell, ending a 45-yard catch on a dime from redshirt sophomore quarterback Quinn Ewers.

Worthy had good reason for his inability to find the end zone and extend a 7-6 lead over the Horned Frogs — two plays prior, after running a route 40 yards downfield that resulted in an underthrown interception by Ewers, the Texas wide receiver ended up underneath a TCU defender just inside the numbers at the 22-yard line, got up, and sprinted over 40 yards to be in position to recover the fumble forced by senior wide receiver Jordan Whittington.
