Too hard hitting?

The Red River Rivalry is always a hard hitting affair. This time around it might have been a bit too hard hitting.

This touchdown was overturned. But it really should've been reviewed for targeting. Clear targeting by the Longhorns defender. #RedRiverRivalry #RedRiverShowdown #Longhorns #Sooners pic.twitter.com/Shng43wtS1

Ehlinger wasn't the only one with a nice day passing

Running back Lil'Jordan Humphrey had a jump pass trick play that tied Texas with Oklahoma after the Longhorns had been trailing 7-0.

more like Lil'Jumppass Humphrey imo
