No. 19 Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) will face No. 3 Texas in the most important season finale of the 2024 season. A win against the Longhorns would vault the Aggies into the SEC Championship game against the Georgia Bulldogs.
While we at Aggies Wire will continue to preview the critical matchup from every angle, the Longhorns’ 31-14 victory over Kentucky on Saturday also included a minor injury to starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, who has battled injuries throughout the season.
However, it looks like the Aggies can begin preparing for the veteran signal-caller. Rivals Texas insider Anwar Richardson confirmed that Ewers sustained a mild ankle injury and will be ready to go against the Aggies, which was seemingly never in doubt given the circumstances.
On paper, Texas A&M’s defense might have a better time against the junior quarterback due to his lack of mobility and statue-like standing in the pocket. However, his arm strength and accuracy will be an issue if A&M’s pass rush can’t get home at a consistent rate.
In 9 games this season, Ewers has thrown for 2,089 yards, 23 touchdowns, and six interceptions after missing two games due to injury.
No. 19 Texas A&M will host No. 3 Texas on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 6:30 pm. CT. The game will air on ABC.
Good news! I’m told Texas QB Quinn Ewers only has a mild ankle sprain and will be good to go for Texas A&M on Saturday. pic.twitter.com/57u7usHq35
