Nice win by the Longhorns, even with the sinking ‘here we go again’ feeling before Blue’s 77 yard touchdown scamper sealed the victory. My Christmas wish is to see Texas play four quarters of a game with the same intensity and success. I know that not many other CFB teams have managed to do that either, but it’s the playoffs, so now might be a good time to give it a shot.
What’s your thought on Quinn Ewers at this point in his career? I thought he played very well against Clemson and managed the game, made adjustments , etc in a way that contributed to the win in a big way, but I just don’t know at this point if he can transcend the ‘above-average game manager’ label and live up to the expectations that many of the fans set for him at the beginning of the season. Hopefully, we have a good enough OL and defense that he won’t have to play hero ball for the rest of the season.
I think Quinn's ceiling is higher than any other quarterback left in the field -- we've seen flashes of it since his return, and honestly, if he plays like he did in the SEC Championship game (where he graded out at PFF as the best offensive player) and like he did Saturday afternoon, the sky is the limit for the Longhorns.
2024 Quinn needs help around him, though, and the running game must be there from here on out -- I'm rooting for Oregon to defeat Ohio State because I think we can run on them.
