AUSTIN, Texas — Meeting with the media on Monday for the first time in weeks, Texas Longhorns redshirt junior quarterback Quinn Ewers was asked to assess his performance this season. Ewers demurred.
“I mean, we’re 9-1, I’m pretty excited about that,” Ewers said.
As the national conversation surrounding the No. 3 Longhorns has focused on the team’s strength of schedule and lack of wins over top teams, a large portion of the Texas fan base has spent this week in varying stages of meltdown about Ewers throwing for just 172 yards on 32 pass attempts in the 20-10 win over Arkansas in Fayetteville.
