D'Onta Foreman was so close. He was right there.

The Texas Longhorns running back came within nine yards of matching Ricky Williams' single-game rushing record after rumbling for 341 rushing yards over the course a 45-37 win against Texas Tech on Saturday.

Williams set the mark with 350 yards against Iowa State back in 1998, and Foreman's flirtation with history came against a Red Raiders defense that had no answer for him. His only setback of the day occurred on a ridiculous, 100-yard strip-and-return touchdown at Texas Tech's goal line.

Besides that, Foreman cooked as he pleased, even running in a touchdown from 74 yards out after losing a shoe en route.

No shoe, no problem. Sometimes it's just your day.
