Texas’s Bijan Robinson Carried Ball Around Campus After Fumble vs. Texas Tech

Texas running back Bijan Robinson coughed up a fumble on the first play of overtime during Saturday’s game against Texas Tech, allowing the Red Raiders to claim a 37–34 win with a field goal on the ensuing possession.

After making the critical mistake, the star ball-carrier has decided to go to extreme lengths to prevent the error from happening again.

In an interview with KVUE News, Robinson said he carried a football around campus on Monday to work on his ball security. He explained that teammates, and even a regular student, attempted to knock the ball loose when they came across the third-year tailback.
