Texas Longhorns star Sam Ehlinger is one of the most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation, and he proved it once more on Saturday against West Virginia.
With the game all tied up in the second quarter, Ehlinger dropped back to pass on 2nd-and-1 from the West Virginia 13-yard line. Nobody broke open, so Ehlinger decided to take off and run instead.
That’s when the magic happened. Ehlinger juked one defender, then plowed over a couple more on his way into the end zone.
This score gave the Longhorns a 21-14 lead with 3:28 left in the second quarter.
