Sam Ehlinger says No. 9 Texas 'deserves better' after again losing to unranked team

Texas senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger said his school "deserves better," after the No. 9 Longhorns lost at home to unranked TCU on Saturday.

The 33-31 loss to the Horned Frogs marked the sixth time since 2017 that the Longhorns have entered a game ranked in the Associated Press poll and lost to an unranked opponent, the most such defeats in the FBS in that time span.

"Losing bothers me the most," a visibly dejected Ehlinger said afterward. "This university deserves better. And it's very frustrating when it's self-inflicting and it's preventable by attention-to-detail and playing the way we all know that everybody is capable of playing in this program.
