It was a deeply devastating moment for Texas as one of the star players hobbled out of the field with the support of his team. Xavier Worthy, one of the nation’s best WRs left the game for the second time just before halftime after an injury. But to the relief of fans and his teammates, he’s ready to get back on the field. 

After a thrilling performance, the Texas Longhorns defeated Texas Tech in the Friday night game 57-7 as they celebrated their best season record at 10-1 since 2009. With the victory, Texas will advance to the Big 12 Championship Game after being barren since 2018. Will they be able to deliver the same fiery performance when they meet their Big 12 opponent?

Xavier Worthy returns to the game after a second injury

In the game against Texas Tech, Xavier Worthy sustained a hit from an opponent who hit him in the legs during an attempted tackle. Reports said that he suffered a “lower extremity” injury but as fans are concerned over the incident, he comes back to the field to renew hope as they lead with 26-7. 

He just jogged out of the locker room and is trying to give it another go after limping out of the game two times in the first half. Reports stated, “Xavier Worthy came out of the tent and has been bouncing around, moving around. It clearly is lower extremity. It looks like he’s just kind of trying to work through any type of range of motion, any kind of pain tolerance.” Xavier Worthy surely has a lot of fight in him as his team pushes through with a dominating lead over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. 

Texas heads to the Big 12 Championship game after 57-7 victory

Texas boasts an overall record of 11-1 (8-1 Big 12) with this victory making their sixth consecutive win.
