The Texas Longhorns got creative in the Big 12 championship on Saturday, and that included putting defensive tackle T’Vondre Sweat on the field to catch a first-half touchdown.
Sweat, officially listed at 362 pounds, got open for a touchdown pass against Oklahoma State in the first half of Saturday’s game. The defensive lineman looked like he was going to celebrate with a big spike of the football, but he quickly had a better idea by memorably striking the Heisman pose.
That is an elite celebration for an elite big-man touchdown.
Sweat is not the biggest player we’ve ever seen score; that honor might go to this guy. He is, however, the biggest man we’ve seen strike a Heisman pose, and who can fault him for that?
Sweat’s touchdown gave Texas a 21-7 lead before the end of the first quarter, leaving the Longhorns very well-positioned for a Big 12 title already.
