ANN GAZEBO, Mich.-- Vince Young as well as Texas came to Big 10 nation 19 years earlier and supplied a declaration. Unflappable, Younger pushed those Longhorns past No. 2 Ohio Condition, setting show business for Texas' wonderful go to the championship game that finished with Young's iconic dash past the Flower Bowl pylon.The Longhorns were actually back in the Big Ten on Saturday. And behind one more unflappable quarterback, Texas once more provided a statement-- this time around in the Big Residence-- that these Longhorns are actually primed for their personal label run.Behind junior quarterback Quinn Ewers, who, like Young carried out, maintains sparing his best efficiencies for the brightest lights, Texas extensively disassembled No. 10 Michigan en route to an unquestionable 31-12 success." This activity isn't mosting likely to specify our period," Longhorns train Steve Sarkisian stated later. "However I presume it would certainly work as a respectable measure of the sort of crew that our company may be." With the sensible Ewers, these Longhorns could be a group that gains its own 1st national championship because 2005. Encountering a Michigan defense still loaded with a number of future first-round NFL draft selections, including protective handle Mason Graham and also cornerback Will Johnson, Texas moved the sphere at will. The Wolverines blitzed. They dropped back. They camouflaged coverages. They tried every little thing. Nothing worked against Ewers." Our experts carried out a truly good project enjoying with poise and calmness," Ewers said.Editor's Picks2 RelatedThe Longhorns converted seven of their first eight attempts on 3rd down, with Ewers locating receivers over and over. He also changed on the some others third-down attempt, however his scurrying, 24-yard touchdown strike to DeAndre Moore Jr. on the opening ride was actually quashed through a storing call.That charge caused a missed out on basket, however it really did not concern. Ewers went back as well as proceeded accomplishing successfully pases." There is actually one thing about Quinn in his attitude. He is actually an extremely restful individual. He's really accumulated. He certainly never trips the mental rollercoaster," Sarkisian said. "When you've acquired a quarterback that everybody can care about, that just fuels confidence and view that, 'Hey, permit's go do our part, since the guy that is actually storing the sphere every play he gets on factor.'" The Longhorns possess cause to believe in Ewers, who is right now the only FBS quarterback in the nation considering that the start of final season to toss three touchdowns without an interception versus multiple AP top-10 enemies, according to ESPN Statistics & Info. In 2013, Ewers passed for 349 backyards in a triumph over then-third-ranked Alabama.Against Michigan, Ewers was actually equally respected. He completed 24 of 36 masquerade 246 yards, as Texas scored on four organized pushes in the 1st one-half, including 3 goals, to put the Wolverines on their heels.He shook a 21-yard touchdown to strict end Gunnar Helm, that do with a career-high 7 functions for 98 backyards. Then, after a Michigan fumble in the last min of the 1st half, Ewers finished 4 straight passes, capped along with a 5-yard goal toss to Matthew Golden on third-and-goal along with 10 seconds to go. The pass put Texas up 24-3 and, effectively, put the Wolverines away." When he is actually certain [we feel] unstoppable," Golden stated of Ewers. "We [feel like] our team can easily rack up 60." Yet with a strengthened objectionable collection now relatively developed for the SEC, and a self defense that swamped the Wolverines, Texas won't need to have to score 60 to always keep gaining games.Michigan generated merely 88 gardens of offense in the first half, and also procured off only nine plays the whole 1st one-fourth-- their least in an initial fourth because 2011, depending on to ESPN Statistics & Information.When Ewers swayed a 7-yard goal pass to operating back Jaydon Blue late in the 3rd fourth, the Big Home started to empty out." I was planning to learn more about ourselves," Sarkisian stated. "Will our team be actually bewildered by the environment?" Our fellas played a very comprised soccer game. They played challenging, they participated in bodily. ... Our team weren't really making an effort to follow to show everything. Our company would like to play our brand name, our design of football." Nineteen years back, the Longhorns knew in Full week 2 at Ohio Stadium that they possessed a special quarterback who can lead them to victory versus anyone anywhere. After that Young performed only that, leading Texas to a significant draw USC at the Flower Bowl.The Longhorns have one more exclusive quarterback now. And while other exams lie in advance, Ewers showed again, that along with him, Texas prepares to defeat any person anywhere.
