A little more than three weeks ago, Texas Longhorns sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger suffered a Grade 1 AC sprain of his right shoulder and left the game against the Baylor Bears, sparking a dramatic bye week full of updates about his status.
Ehlinger returned against Oklahoma State in Stillwater and continued his ascension into the ranks of the nation’s best quarterbacks by going 22-of-42 passing for 283 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys and then out-producing star Mountaineers quarterback Will Grier last weekend. In that narrow loss, Ehlinger went 25-of-36 passing for 354 yards and three touchdowns.
