Any intrigue about the Texas quarterback race was quickly put to rest on Saturday, as Quinn Ewers appeared comfortable and in command, according to coach Steve Sarkisian.
"I thought Quinn was really efficient today," Sarkisian said after Saturday's game where Ewers completed 16 of 23 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown, a leaping one-handed grab by Georgia transfer A.D. Mitchell. "I think it's pretty clear to say that Quinn's our starting quarterback and we feel very good about that."
The remainder of the highlights came from redshirt freshman Maalik Murphy, who was playing in his first game action at Texas after being injured most of last season and missing the first five practices this spring.
