It was a sight that Texas Longhorns fans likely won’t ever see again.
Checking out of the backfield, tight end Cade Brewer caught the check down from quarterback Sam Ehlinger, turned upfield, and hurdled the first Oklahoma Sooners defender in his way.
The play only went for five yards on 3rd and 14, but it flashed the athleticism on that Cotton Bowl field in 2017 that prompted head coach Tom Herman to offer Brewer shortly after arriving at Texas the year before.
It was also a play that Herman and his coaching staff don’t like — hurdling defenders is not in alignment with program imperatives like ball security, no matter whether Brewer finished with two hands on the football.
