>>> McKinney beats Longview 23-21 in big-time Texas showdown

In a 23-21 loss to McKinney (Texas), the nation's No. 1 running back tossed a 31-yard touchdown and ran for a 64-yard touchdown run on a fourth down trick play.

Check it out:

Later in the game, Tatum delivered a 64-yard touchdown run from the quarterback position.

While the Tatum pass may have been unexpected from his running back position, perhaps McKinney should've seen it coming.

Tatum, a versatile weapon for Longview, warmed up his arm in pregame activities with the quarterbacks. He's also committed to play baseball for the Sooners.
