Justin Blackmon could've strolled into the end zone. But the Oklahoma State star instead turned left and trotted along the goal line until he almost reached the sideline, finally forced to make the touchdown official.
Maybe he was taking it all in. Because the nation's top receiver might not be back.
Blackmon caught two touchdowns, including his 71-yard strike that he savored long as possible before scoring, and No. 16 Oklahoma State finished its first 11-win season with a 36-10 victory over Arizona in the Alamo Bowl on Wednesday night.
"I just wanted to have a little fun," Blackmon said of taking the long way to the end zone.
The fun didn't stop there.
Blackmon, the Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation's top receiver, later set an NCAA record with his 12th straight game with at least 100 yards receiving and a touchdown. The sophomore caught nine passes for 117 yards in perhaps his last college game.
He's a projected high NFL pick who's already won Big 12 offensive player of the year and surpassed former Pitt star Larry Fitzgerald for most receiving yards by a sophomore.
So what's left to accomplish?
"No one knows," said Blackmon about whether he'll come back to Oklahoma State. "We just have to see. We'll have to figure it out."
