Texas QB Sam Ehlinger shines on the biggest stage against Oklahoma

Vince Young never had a day like that in the Cotton Bowl. Neither did Colt McCoy.

In fact, no Texas Longhorns quarterback has ever been as prolific as sophomore Sam Ehlinger has been through two games in the Red River Showdown — the lifetime Longhorn holds the top two spots in the Texas record books for total offense against the Oklahoma Sooners with 388 yards last season and 394 yards on Saturday.

As a result of those 394 yards of total offense and five touchdowns, Ehlinger earned recognition on Sunday as the Walter Camp Offensive Player of the Week.
