NEW ORLEANS -- The oft-asked question about Texas football got an emphatic answer on Tuesday night, at least as far as sophomore quarterback Sam Ehlinger was concerned.
Ehlinger, who was named MVP in the No. 15 Longhorns' 28-21 win over No. 5 Georgia in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, stood on stage during the trophy presentation in the middle of the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and was asked what the win did to springboard Texas into next season.
Ehlinger, with a sly smile, leaned into the microphone and said: "Longhorn Nation -- we're baaaaaaaaack!"
The burnt orange-clad fans went wild.
