This weekend in NCAAF the Texas Longhorns suffered their first loss of the season. In what was expected to be a tough matchup, the team, led by Steve Sarkisian, fell decisively to the Georgia Bulldogs, 30-15. After the game, Quinn Ewers shared his thoughts on the outcome.
The team, previously undefeated with six consecutive wins and fresh off a victory against Oklahoma, couldn’t replicate its earlier performance and suffered a decisive loss to Kirby Smart’s squad.
After the game, feeling the disappointment of not securing another victory, Quinn Ewers spoke to the media and made it clear regarding the team’s performance: “We didn’t start obviously the way we want it to,” QB stated. “We definitely did not play our game today.”
The Longhorns struggled to counter Georgia’s attacks, finishing the first half without any points. Not only that, but they failed to gain even 50 yards in the first two quarters.
Ewers’ current injury status
One of the main factors during the game against the Bulldogs was the situation of starting quarterback Quinn Ewers and the oblique injury he’s been dealing with for weeks. While it’s uncertain if this was a key factor in the loss, he didn’t appear to be at 100% during the game.
According to Dennis de la Pena on X, the quarterback was clear about his health status after the game: “It’s there a little bit, but I feel like that’s how injuries go. It’s not a big issue or anything like that,” Ewers stated.
