Mac Jones was a man of his word after Alabama’s loss to Texas over the weekend.
Following the loss, the former Crimson Tide QB kept his bet with Patriots teammate and UT alum Brenden Schooler and showed up to New England’s facility decked out in Longhorns gear.

“If Texas had Mac maybe they could’ve won a natty in the last 17 years,” an Alabama fan said.

Texas went into Bryant-Denny and left with a 34-24 win and a huge jump in the polls.
Quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for almost 350 yards in the upset and has UT fans believing that this could finally be the year.
The last time the Longhorns were this exciting, Colt McCoy and Mack Brown were leading the program to 13 wins and a national championship appearance.
