ANN TRELLIS, Mich.-- Vince Young and Texas related to Big 10 country 19 years earlier and supplied a declaration. Unflappable, Younger propelled those Longhorns past No. 2 Ohio State, establishing show business for Texas' wonderful go to the championship game that finished along with Youthful's famous sprint past the Flower Bowl pylon.The Longhorns were actually back in the Big 10 on Saturday. And responsible for yet another unflappable quarterback, Texas once again delivered a claim-- this time in the Big Home-- that these Longhorns are topped for their very own title run.Behind junior quarterback Quinn Ewers, who, like Youthful performed, maintains sparing his greatest performances for the brightest lightings, Texas extensively disassembled No. 10 Michigan on the way to a resounding 31-12 victory." This one video game isn't heading to define our time," Longhorns train Steve Sarkisian mentioned subsequently. "But I think it would function as a respectable measure of the type of group that our company could be." Along with the sensible Ewers, these Longhorns could be a team that gains its initial national championship given that 2005. Dealing with a Michigan defense still loaded along with several potential first-round NFL draft selections, including protective handle Mason Graham and also cornerback Will certainly Johnson, Texas moved the sphere at will. The Wolverines blitzed. They hung back. They disguised protections. They made an effort every little thing. Nothing worked against Ewers." Our experts did a definitely excellent work enjoying with poise and composure," Ewers said.Editor's Picks2 RelatedThe Longhorns turned 7 of their first 8 attempts on 3rd down, with Ewers finding receivers time and time. He even changed on the some others third-down try, but his clambering, 24-yard touchdown strike to DeAndre Moore Jr. on the position drive was quashed through a keeping call.That fine caused a missed basket, however it didn't concern. Ewers came back and proceeded finishing successfully pases." There's something concerning Quinn in his manner. He is actually a really calm guy. He is actually actually accumulated. He certainly never rides the psychological rollercoaster," Sarkisian pointed out. "When you've acquired a quarterback that everybody may rely on, that only fuels confidence and also opinion that, 'Hey, permit's go do our component, since the man that is actually storing the round every play he performs factor.'" The Longhorns have factor to rely on Ewers, that is now the only FBS quarterback in the country considering that the beginning of final season to throw 3 goals without an interception against several AP top-10 enemies, according to ESPN Statistics & Information. In 2013, Ewers masqueraded 349 backyards in a triumph over then-third-ranked Alabama.Against Michigan, Ewers was actually just like prolific. He finished 24 of 36 masquerade 246 backyards, as Texas scored on 4 organized pushes in the very first one-half, featuring 3 touchdowns, to put the Wolverines on their heels.He threw a 21-yard touchdown to tight side Gunnar Reins, who do with a career-high seven celebrations for 98 gardens. Then, after a Michigan fumble in the final minute of the very first half, Ewers completed four organized elapseds, topped along with a 5-yard touchdown throw to Matthew Golden on third-and-goal along with 10 seconds to go. The pass put Texas up 24-3 and also, efficiently, put the Wolverines away." When he's positive [we feel] easy," Golden claimed of Ewers. "Our team [believe that] we can easily score 60." However along with a strengthened offending product line now seemingly built for the SEC, and also a defense that confused the Wolverines, Texas will not require to score 60 to always keep gaining games.Michigan made just 88 gardens of offense in the very first one-half, and also managed to get off just 9 participates in the whole initial fourth-- their least in a first quarter due to the fact that 2011, according to ESPN Stats & Information.When Ewers swung a 7-yard touchdown pass to managing back Jaydon Blue behind time in the third quarter, the Big Property began to empty out." I was wanting to find out about our own selves," Sarkisian stated. "Will our company be actually bewildered by the atmosphere?" Our men participated in a really composed soccer video game. They participated in difficult, they played physical. ... We weren't actually attempting to come to prove just about anything. Our company wished to play our company, our style of regulation football." Nineteen years earlier, the Longhorns found out in Week 2 at Ohio Coliseum that they possessed an unique quarterback that might lead them to triumph against any individual anywhere. After that Youthful performed simply that, leading Texas to a remarkable sway USC at the Flower Bowl.The Longhorns have one more unique quarterback right now. And also while various other examinations lie ahead of time, Ewers presented once more, that with him, Texas is ready to trump anybody anywhere.
