Can Texas Maintain Their Winning Streak Against TCU Without Ewers?

Texas faces a tough question: can they keep winning without Quinn Ewers? Ewers, standing at 6′ 2″ and a formidable force for the Longhorns, is now day-to-day. With 1,915 yards and 13 touchdowns to his name this season, his shoes are big to fill.

What does Ewers bring to the table? A lot. His stats scream excellence. A QBR of 77.7, 166.3 against conference teams, and a completion rate of 78.2%. Ewers is not just a player; he’s a playmaker. But here’s the kicker: Texas is 8-1. They’ve thrived, with Ewers at the helm.

So, the burning question is, can they sustain their momentum? Texas’ offensive strategy hinges on adaptability. They’ve shown resilience before. Can they do it again?

Look at the numbers. Ewers has an impressive away game rating of 173.8. In conference games, his rating dips slightly to 166.3. But it’s clear, he shines under pressure. The Longhorns have roared this season, but TCU is no pushover. With a 4-5 record, they’re the underdogs. And underdogs bite hard.

Ewers’ last game against Houston? Stellar. He threw for 211 yards and two touchdowns. The Longhorns won, but at what cost? Ewers walked away with an injury. Now, Texas must face TCU without their star. It’s a test of depth and determination.

Can the backup QB step up? It’s their time to shine. The team’s depth will be pushed to the limit. It’s more than just a game; it’s a battle of wills. Will the Longhorns’ tenacity be enough?

Ewers’ return is uncertain. Texas’ conviction is not. They’re ready. The question is, are we ready to see what they’re truly made of? The countdown to game day is on. Texas, are you ready to keep the streak alive?
