This set game isn't visiting determine our season," Longhorns trainer Steve Sarkisian stated thereafter. "Yet I believe it will work as a good measure of the type of staff that we could be." Along with the rational Ewers, these Longhorns might be a team that wins its very first championship game considering that 2005. Experiencing a Michigan defense still packed with numerous future first-round NFL draft selections, including protective deal with Mason Graham and cornerback Are going to Johnson, Texas relocated the round at will. The Wolverines blitzed. They dropped back. They disguised protections. They made an effort whatever. Nothing antagonized Ewers."

And also while other examinations lie ahead of time, Ewers presented once again, that with him, Texas prepares to trump any individual anywhere.
