“Can they hook em? TOUCHDOWN! MATTHEW GOLDEN!”

One of the greatest plays! Cemented Quinn Ewers as a Longhorn LEGEND!

Worst Q3 ever. But even more horrid..the missed kick in the 4th that could have won the game in regulation. My sister and I both started crying! 😂😂 Craziest game ive ever been to

I appreciate the music drowning out Joe Tessitore's yapping.

I'll credit Kelvin Banks with an initial false start. He knew Golden and Quinn needed the extra five yards!

[Bobby Burton]

I'm just glad they didn't review Golden's catch for half an hour to torment me further.

For those who enjoy trips down memory lane...

That was an incredible read and play. I, along with probably everyone else, was in shock at how the game got away from us in the second half. But, that play shows what made Quinn as good as he was.  He was calm throughout all of it, made the right read and check and then made the throw in the moment it had to happen. Thanks for bringing this up!

The most mad I’ve been after a game and it’s not even close.  A good reminder that football is just a game and should be treated as such.  Not worth the level of anger I went through.  
 

On a funny note… I watched 4 & 13 through a window, outside the stadium.  I had a flight to catch at ATL and no extra time to spare.  Once it went into OT I gradually made it around the inside of the stadium, watching each play.  By the time I got to the exit closest to my car I was out of time and the game was still frustratingly in doubt.  Eventually made the decision to leave, but got a lucky break that I was able to see 4 & 13 on the big screen through a window into the stadium.  Went absolutely nuts when Ewers and Golden  made the play.  But was still mad as hell afterwards.

I felt like I was in a vortex in the third quarter! My sister and I kept yelling “what’s happening!?” 😅

I am always so glad that he played through the oblique injury that season, because if he hadnt, he would not have had that career defining moment. 🥹🤘 It will be on Texas highlight reels til the end of time.

He said we are too close to the Red Zone, gotta help coach out 😅

The 2001 Colorado Big 12 championship game is that one for me.

Thanks for posting this!!!

I just watched it here for the first time since the day of the game and the last one of the 500 or so times I viewed it later...

What did I notice just now?! I saw that clean, wide- open pocket provided by the O-Line. Quinn always performed well when he was given protection and time to throw. That was excellent.

Hook 'Em!

I’m sorry to say that I was at that one too!  In that case I was disappointed about what should have been, but not bitterly angry.
