Texas senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger is attempting to chase that elusive invite to New York by season’s end. While Ehlinger has put up some good seasons from a statistical standpoint for a Heisman bid, the thing that has held him back is the performance on the field. However, for the first time Ehlinger and the Longhorns are 2-0 under head coach Tom Herman. So can they do enough to get Sam to the ceremony?
Well the next step is retribution in Austin, Texas. In their last matchup at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, the Longhorns came out on top 31-16. Ehlinger threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns in the win. He also added one on the ground as Ehlinger has shown the propensity to do. It was the 2019 game that helped derail their season.
Looking at 2020, we dive into the numbers to see how Ehlinger has performed through two games. Where has Sam been able to find success through the air?
