A Longhorn has never scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl, but that could change Sunday
Does this ignominious streak for the Texas Longhorns end on Sunday?

How could this be?
Why did playboy Joe Namath selfishly refuse to throw a touchdown to his Longhorn pass catchers Pete Lammons and George Sauer when the Jets took down the 19 point favorite Colts in Super Bowl III in 1969?
Why didn’t former Texas kicker Raul Allegre eschew a field goal attempt against the Broncos in 1987 and gallop 35 yards for a touchdown – the single bar of his helmet glistening in the Pasadena sun?
Mysteries all. But this streak must be broken.
Sure, betting $10 on Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (101 total yards and a touchdown vs Buffalo in the AFC Title Game) could make you $15, but Philly DT Moro Ojomo‘s imminent strip sack fumble return will net you $950.

Choose wisely, but this streak must end. I recommend taking out a HELOC and placing everything on Ojomo or Charles Omenihu. It’s sound money management.
