Unfortunately for the Texas football program and everyone involved, it appears as though C.J. Baxter has suffered another lower-body injury on the first play of the game against the Miners. The details or severity of the injury haven't been released, but it doesn't look good.
He came off limping pretty bad after the opening play of the game, and he went to the medical tent immediately.
Looking at X/twitter, it appears as though Longhorns fans are just as devastated as the team is:
