Quinn Ewers is back. And perhaps Texas is too.
Ewers returned from injury on Saturday to help lead the Longhorns to an unprecedented beatdown of Oklahoma, 49–0—the worst Red River thrashing in the series history. It leads us all to wonder: What if Ewers hadn’t gotten hurt in the first quarter of UT’s 20–19 loss to Alabama in Week 2?
The Longhorns (4–2) struggled offensively against the Crimson Tide the rest of that game and then lost at Texas Tech two weeks later. Ewers had a gem of a return: He completed 21 of 31 attempts for 289 yards and four touchdowns, throwing one pick.
