GIF: Texas' Alex Okafor blocks kick with face

Longhorns defensive end Alex Okafor plays during Texas' spring practice on March 3.

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:
