Can Texas Longhorns survive without Jaydon Blue, or is their season already in jeopardy?

It came out as a shocker for Texas Longhorns fans when running back Jaydon Blue faced an injury just after playing a few minutes in the game. Although Texas won the game by 31-12, it could have been a massive loss for Texas if he had a serious injury and did not show up for other games. He is a crucial player who made waves in college football during last year’s season after his power-packed performance. The opponent team’s analyst shared this sensitive news. “Something to watch,” he wrote.

The good news is that Blue returned to the field a little late in the second quarter. But what happened to Jayden Blue? He was seen holding his foot as he came off the field, shocking everyone just a few minutes into the game between the Texas Longhorns and the Michigan Wolverines. Blue is the Longhorns’s leading rusher and managed four carries on 14 yards before his exit. As he came out of the field, his teammates quickly came to his aid for support. Texas started playing the game without their key player, but after some time, he joined his team.
