Going into his fourth year with the Texas football program, rising senior star quarterback Sam Ehlinger was able to breath new life into the team and find more success than they were ever able to previously in the 2010’s. Texas got to win a Sugar Bowl over the Georgia Bulldogs, Alamo Bowl over the No. 11 ranked Utah Utes, and finally take down a top-10 ranked Oklahoma Sooners team in the Red River Rivalry game while both programs were up.
For the most part, the 2010’s was a decade to forget on the Forty Acres. Texas went through three different head coaches to get them where they are now.
