The rapid improvement of Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger from his freshman season to his sophomore season has helped the offense jump from No. 99 in S&P+ to No. 24.
Ehlinger’s numbers are up across the board, but the improvement of his accuracy is one of the most notable developments in 2018 — he’s completing nearly seven percent more of his passes and is consistently hitting small windows in a way that he rarely did as a freshman.
When evaluating quarterbacks, there’s often a perception that accuracy is an inherent trait, purely the result of fine motor skills that some quarterbacks possess and some do not.
