The Texas Longhorns took a big lead over the Oklahoma Sooners in Saturday’s Red River Showdown, but watched as the Sooners tied it at 45-45 late.
Then, though, the Longhorns marched down the field, getting into field-goal range for an attempt from K Cameron Dicker.
As you can see below, the freshman kicker was as cool as a cucumber, making eye contact with the camera and smiling before the biggest kick of his life:

He, of course, then stepped in and drilled a 40-yard field goal to win the game, securing his place in Texas lore.
It’s clear he has ice water in his veins, and that’ll come in handy in high-pressure situations moving forward.
