Sam Ehlinger clarifies his post-game remarks

Not for the first time and likely not for the last time, Texas Longhorns junior quarterback Sam Ehlinger sparked something of a social media controversy on Friday after beating the Texas Tech Red Raiders when one of his post-game comments was taken out of context.

Ehlinger was first asked about what statement the Longhorns made in the victory over the Red Raiders, then asked a big-picture question about the state of the program.

After admitting that he hadn’t thought much about the statement Texas made on Friday — he said he was focused on winning for the seniors — Ehlinger paused when asked the follow-up question.
