Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger really wanted another chance to beat the defending champion LSU Tigers.
In fact, Ehlinger said he cried when he learned this year's scheduled game between Texas and LSU was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, per Brian Davis of the Austin American-Statesman.
The nonconference game was scrapped when the SEC shifted to an all-conference schedule and the Big 12 went to a plus-one model with all league games but one.
LSU's 45-38 win over Texas last year was one of the most memorable games of the season.
