Alex Okafor had his head in the game.
The Texas senior defensive end blocked a 42-yard field goal attempt by Tyler Bitancurt with his face mask Saturday against West Virginia. As you can see to the left of this post, dude wears that crazy grid-style face mask like his Longhorns teammates.
The block kept the score even at 7-7. But Okafor wasn't done; he forced a fumble later in the game that teammate Jackson Jeffcoat recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. The extra point after that one made it 21-21.
Here's the block, via an SB Nation gif:
