Crunch Time: Analyzing Texas’ third-down and red-zone performance vs. Florida

This past Saturday, the then-No. 5 Texas Longhorns secured their fourth SEC victory in decisive fashion, taking care of the Florida Gators, 49-17, as the Longhorns offense raced out to a 35-0 halftime lead before cruising for the remaining two quarters.

Quarterback Quinn Ewers looked composed and deliberate in the pocket behind a first-class gameplan from head coach Steve Sarkisian that schemed pass catchers wide open. Ewers finished the day with 333 yards and five touchdowns. As a team, the Longhorns tallied 12 plays of 20-plus yards.

Games that get out of hand so early can be difficult to scrutinize with a fine-tooth comb.
