There was plenty of drama on the field when No. 15 Texas visited Lubbock to play Texas Tech.

Wide receiver Lil’ Jordan Humphrey made a spectacular touchdown catch with 23 seconds remaining, as the Longhorns defeated the Red Raiders, 41-34.

But apparently there was some drama on the sidelines as well. Late in the game, Brian Davis of HookEm.com tweeted that Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte had been ejected by the game by officials.

However, the former AD at TCU went on to explain the confusion to reporters, calling it “Fake News.”
