Who was the MVP in Texas’ convincing win over Texas Tech?

There are more than a few deserving names, but who was the Offensive MVP in the Texas Longhorns’ win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders?

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out a disappointing season on a high note. Any team that puts up 49 points in a game will have a bevy of options for MVP, and that is not untrue here. Quarterback Sam Ehlinger had an efficient 431 total yards and 3 total touchdowns on 19/27 passing, and former third-string QB-turned-RB Roschon Johnson had 105 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in the best performance of his career.

While both Johnson and Ehlinger are valid choices, my pick is wide receiver Devin Duvernay. Duvernay has stepped up in a big way as a senior, posting monstrous season totals of 103 receptions for 1294 yards and 9 total touchdowns. Saturday’s performance was the cherry on top of a great season, as the speedy wideout went for 199 yards and a touchdown on 6 catches, including this beautiful 75-yard touchdown from Sam Ehlinger:

While Duvernay was questionably snubbed from the final watch-list for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given each year to the best wide receiver in college football, he has definitely seen a rise in draft stock. Duvernay’s top-end speed, reliable hands, and quick feet will make him a very useful tool in the NFL from day 1.

Postgame Report: Texas stomps Texas Tech 49-24

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out the season on a high note

After walloping the Texas Tech Red Raiders 49-24, the Texas Longhorns are closing out a disappointing season on a high note. In the first quarter, Texas had a tough time getting anything going and went down 14-0 early. After that, the defense stepped up and the offense got into a groove, taking shots down the field and spreading out the Red Raiders’ defense. The win today leaves the Longhorns with a 7-5 record and looking towards a mid or low-tier bowl game.

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger had another huge game, throwing for 348 yards and 2 touchdowns with 19/27 passing. As usual, Ehlinger was effective on the ground as well, rushing 10 times for 83 yards and a touchdown. Ehlinger officially surpassed 10,000 career yards before he got pulled for Casey Thompson late as the game was already out of reach.

Senior wide receiver Devin Duvernay had a monster performance in his last game at DKR, catching 6 passes for 199 yards and 1 touchdown. Duvernay’s score came on a beautiful 75-yard pass from Ehlinger, which Duvernay caught in stride and took to the house:

QB-turned-RB Roschon Johnson added 105 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, putting in his best performance as a Texas Longhorn. On the defensive side of the ball, Marqez Bimage was the main standout with a forced fumble, fumble recovery, and sack.

The Longhorns await Selection Day to find out where they will travel for a bowl game. The Camping World Bowl in Orlando, Florida is a popular choice among analysts, and the Longhorns could easily be headed to Florida.

Referee Cooper Castleberry hilariously confirms that the previous play was, in fact, a pass

Being a referee is a hard and thankless job. On any given play there are so many moving parts that it is easy to get lost in the shuffle and miss a call or two. Despite what your average fan would have you believe, spotting penalties in real-time when you’re on the field is extremely difficult. Luckily, some calls are easy. For instance, referee Cooper Castleberry was able to confirm that the previous play was, in fact, a pass:

Longhorns QB Sam Ehlinger officially surpasses 10,000 career all-purpose yards

Texas Longhorn QB Sam Ehlinger officially surpassed 10,000 career all-purpose yards in today’s game against Texas Tech.

It has been a successful career for Sam Ehlinger so far. In the final game of his third season, Ehlinger has officially surpassed 10,000 career all-purpose yards. Ehlinger’s 10k trails only Longhorn Legend Colt McCoy, who posted 14,824 yards over the course of his esteemed career. Ehlinger still has time to make up ground, as he should return to Texas for his senior year and put up more yardage, perhaps enough to surpass McCoy.

Devin Duvernay has officially recorded 100 catches on the season

Texas Longhorns WR Devin Duvernay has officially recorded 100 catches on the season

Devin Duvernay has had an outstanding year. Coming into the season, many considered Collin Johnson the best wide receiver on the Longhorns, but Duvernay has stepped up and inserted himself into that conversation. Duvernay excels playing underneath, running crisp routes with reliable hands, great top-end speed, and elite RAC-ability. The senior is the third Longhorn in program history to record 100+ receptions in a year and has certainly made the case for his NFL readiness after this season.
