The Texas quarterback decision has drawn a significant audience from college football fans across the country. The largest contingent comes from Texas’ two rival fan bases, who were already eager to project Quinn Ewers as the next Tate Martell.
Early puzzling reports were that barring Quinn Ewers stepping in and taking the job Hudson Card would be the favorite.
Well, Ewers won the job. Texas named the Ohio State transfer the starting quarterback at Texas.
Bobby Burton of Inside Texas details the decision and confirms the donors did not intervene. He writes of what it actually came down to and how Quinn ultimately won the job.
The decision to make Ewers the starter was an easy one for me. In the backfield stands the most versatile running back weapon I have seen at Texas. Bijan Robinson and Quinn Ewers possess skills that will make the other players’ lives easier.
Out wide are a host of talented receivers Sarkisian will scheme open, led by Xavier Worthy and Jordan Whittington.
All Texas needs of Quinn is to connect on three to five game-changing throws, many of which will come off play action. He is the only quarterback on the roster that I trust to make those throws.
Ewers was always the right quarterback choice for the University of Texas.
