Inside the play: Texas survives despite Texas Tech's miraculous touchdown

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Texas and Texas Tech gave us one of the absolute rarest plays you’ll find in college football on Saturday: one in which both teams thought they scored a touchdown.

In the grand scheme of Texas’ 45-37, down-to-the-wire victory in Lubbock, perhaps the legacy of this play is just a fun footnote. But in the moment, it was the kind of bad beat that could’ve wrecked Texas’ season.

The Longhorns started a second-quarter drive at their own 1-yard line and drove all 99 yards, but a 9-yard touchdown pass to tight end Caleb Bluiett was wiped out on a chop block.
