While I got ya, here are nine things and one crazy prediction:
Waiting on a quarterback’s call
1. Quinn’s quandary: Not sure what the holdup is, but sources tell me Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is expected to return to school and that he decided to come back even before the Sugar Bowl, but is delaying an announcement. One would think Steve Sarkisian would prefer the redshirt sophomore get the news out there more quickly so it could influence others in the transfer portal interested in the Longhorns or future recruits. Ewers appears to be coming back because he could use another season to hone his skills, loves the idea of competing again for a championship, and his NFL draft standing is lower than other more highly regarded quarterbacks like Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels and Michael Penix Jr., although NFLdraftbuzz ranks him the seventh quarterback in the 2024 draft and ProFootballNetwork lists him as this year’s 38th overall pick. (I think Penix is going to tear it up in the league.) Ewers needs to come back. Also I’m told by a dialed-in NFL scout that Ewers was given a first- or second-day grade by league evaluators. … Personally I haven’t been that impressed with Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy. He seems like the very definition of game manager. He completed just 10 passes in the Wolverines’ 34-13 bashing of Washington, but his 22-yard scramble may have been the key play of the game because it helped stall the Huskies’ momentum.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers walks with his teammates onto the field at Amon G. Carter Stadium ahead of the Longhorns’ win over TCU on Nov. 11. The two-year starter has not yet announced whether he’ll return for the 2024 season or jump into the NFL draft.
