Texas is likely going to have a difficult time slowing down Missouri quarterback Drew Lock on Wednesday night.
The analysts on the Longhorn Network were discussing just that ahead of the Texas Bowl game, which was slated to kick off at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
After predicting that Missouri quarterback Drew Lock would throw for 320 yards against the Longhorns, one of the analysts — former Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams — made a hilarious mistake which he had trouble turning back from.
“When you sit through the meetings and go through these, it’s tough when you go first,” the former Texas running back said about making predictions on the set. “And I wanted to be the high guy…”
That’s when Williams stopped himself.
“Well, not the high guy,” he continued, trying to catch himself before laughter broke out on the set.
Williams meant to say he thought his number of passing yards for Lock would be the highest among the analysts. But clearly, it was too late to save it.
