Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger’s injured shoulder is “not great,” Longhorn coach Tom Herman said Monday. But that’s no cause for alarm concerning the Big 12 Championship Game against OU on Saturday in Arlington, Texas.
“It hasn’t been (great) since the Baylor game,” Herman said. That’s when Ehlinger suffered a shoulder sprain and missed most of a 23-17 Texas victory. But Ehlinger has played through the injury ever since.
“It’s a pain tolerance thing,” Herman said. “If it’s a pain tolerance thing, my money’s on Sam Ehlinger. He’s going to be fine for the game. But it’s definitely something that bothers him.
