Texas? 2015 season has, with one significant exception, been a giant middle finger pointed in the general direction of success, so it?s apropos that one of its few bright spots is having a digit issue.
Head coach Charlie Strong has confirmed that D?Onta Foreman will undergo surgery Thursday to repair a broken finger on his right hand. The running back sustained the broken pinkie in the loss to West Virginia this past weekend.
Because of the surgery, Freeman?s availability for the Thanksgiving game against Texas Tech is decidedly unknown.
?We just don?t know the extent of the injury,? Strong said. ?We?re not sure if he?ll be able to carry a football, at least not yet.?
Foreman currently leads the Longhorns in rushing with 681 yards and in rushing touchdowns with five.
Exacerbating the situation is the fact that Johnathan Gray suffered a foot injury in the WVU game and is listed as day-to-day for Tech. Gray is currently second among UT running backs with 489 yards.
UT will need to beat Tech and No. 10 Baylor to finish 6-6 and become bowl-eligible.
