Quinn Ewers and the Texas Longhorns fall 27-20 to Michael Penix Jr. and the Washington Huskies in the 30th anniversary of the Valero Alamo Bowl. In their first game without Bijan Robinson since 2019, the Texas Longhorns failed to run the ball effectively, and Quinn Ewers (who showed flashes of the superstar coming out of Southlake Carroll) couldn't do enough to lead the Longhorns to victory. Xavier Worthy who has gone from fan favorite to the doghouse, had a catastrophic drop that may have cost the Longhorns the game, and overall this Texas team was just outplayed by a tough Washington team that very well could have competed for a college football playoff spot. On the defensive side, a Texas defense led by Jaylan Ford that was stout against the run allowed Wayne Taulapapa to have one of the best games of his career. They allowed this Washington offense to convert on 57 percent of their third and fourth down conversions, while holding Michael Penix Jr. below his standard offensively. Improving on 5-7 was pretty much a lock based on the talent level on this Texas football team, and Steve Sarkisian being in his second year as the head coach. But 8-5 signifies that a lot of meat was left on the bone. Texas had a chance to beat Alabama, TCU, and Washington and somehow lost all of those games. Texas had a14 point lead against Oklahoma State and Texas Tech and somehow lost both of those games. Even though the offseason ended in a sad manner, we end the show with some Kool-Aid because of course. We talk about some of the positives we saw last night, including the explosiveness from Jonathon Brooks, and the growth and development from Quinn Ewers amongst other things. Hook Em, I guess.
