Like so much else about this Texas football season, the year 2009 figures prominently in any talk about quarterback.
Along with all the other milestones that have occurred or could occur if Texas (9-4) can beat Georgia (11-2) in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 is the sense of certainty at quarterback. After nearly a decade of a revolving door that always seemed to be in perpetual motion since Colt McCoy left after the 2009 season, Sam Ehlinger has made the position his own.
The sophomore has thrown for 3,123 yards and 25 touchdowns this season.
