Texas’ Bijan Robinson walked around carrying a football all day because he doesn’t want to fumble again

Texas star Bijan Robinson has a strong case for being the best running back in college football.

Even in Saturday’s overtime loss to Texas Tech, he was outstanding. He totaled 101 yards on 16 carries and found the end zone twice. But his only mistake proved to be a big one.

On the first play to begin the overtime period, Robinson fumbled. The Red Raiders recovered and ultimately kicked a game-winning field goal to score their first win over a ranked Texas team since Michael Crabtree’s heroics back in 2008.

Everyone makes mistakes, but this is one Robinson intends to never let happen again. According to Rivals’ Anwar Richardson, Robinson walked around campus and in the football facility carrying a football all day because he never wants to fumble again.

His teammates and even a student tried to knock the ball out of his hands, but to no avail.

In addition to being a dominant player on the field, Robinson — the mastermind behind the blessedly cursed “Bijan Mustardson” NIL deal — is one of the game’s greatest personalities, and he proved why yet again here.

All I know is, I would love to see a clip of that UT student trying to knock the ball out.
