"Hell of a throw": Fans spellbound by Texas RB Jaydon Blue's insane endzone catch

The Texas Longhorns are in the midst of a high-octane showdown with the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 14 of the 2024 college football season. After Steve Sarkisian's team joined the SEC this season, their rivalry with the Aggies reignited after a hiatus of 13 years.

At the end of the first half on Saturday, the Texas Longhorns established a 17-0 lead over the Aggies. One of the highlights of the game was a stunning catch by Longhorns running back Jaydon Blue.

In the second quarter, quarterback Quinn Ewers had a choice to make during a 2nd and 6 near the red zone. He showcased his arm accuracy with a well-placed pass to Blue in the end zone.

Despite being guarded closely by Aggies safety Bryce Anderson, Blue managed to make a stunning catch to score a touchdown.

Fans took to social media to share their thoughts on the TD play by Jaydon Blue and Quinn Ewers.

One fan praised the pin-point pass that Ewers made.

"And a hell of a throw, too," they wrote.

Another stated that the sync between the two players during that moment was incredible.

"That was something! From both of them," the fan posted.

A fan said Jaydon Blue did not hold on to the ball while going down on the ground and that the touchdown should be overturned.

"Ball got CLEARLY knocked out on the way to the ground. He didn't possess it all the way through. Brutal missed call by the replay officials to overturn it," they wrote.

Another predicted the outcome of this Week 14 game after this touchdown play.

"Texas is so good. 55-0 final score? I wanna see a Texas Oregon final. I think Tex could win. Wowww," the X user posted.

A fan praised Blue's focus on making the catch at the end zone.

"Some great concentration by the Yung Bul," they said

One user commented that R Mason Thomas should be penalized for the tackle on Jaydon Blue.

Will the Texas Longhorns compete for the SEC championship?

After winning the Big 12 title last season, Steve Sarkisian and his team put up a strong campaign during their SEC debut this year. Heading into Week 14, the Longhorns have a 10-1 (6-1 SEC Conference) campaign, making a great case as contenders for the 12-team playoffs.

If Steve Sarkisian and his team emerge victorious in this showdown against the Aggies, the Longhorns will compete for the conference title with the Georgia Bulldogs. However, a loss would eliminate them from the SEC championship game as their cumulative conference winning percentage will be lower than the Aggies.

Thus, Steve Sarkisian and his team's hopes of winning the SEC title in their debut campaign and competing for the natty lie in the outcome of this Week 14 showdown.
