Any questions about the quarterback race at Texas were quickly answered on Saturday, when coach Steve Sarkisian said that Quinn Ewers looked relaxed and in charge.
"I thought Quinn was really efficient today," Sarkisian said after Saturday's game, in which Ewers completed 16 of 23 passes for 195 yards and a score.
"It's pretty clear that Quinn is our starting quarterback, and we're very happy about that," said the coach.
The rest of the highlights came from redshirt rookie Maalik Murphy, who was playing in his first game at Texas after being hurt for most of last season and missing the first five practices this spring.
He finished the game 9 of 13 for 165 yards, including a touchdown pass to Johntay Cook, a freshman receiver, that went for 79 yards.
Ewers had a mixed first season in Austin. He said he changed the way he trained this offseason because he didn't feel like he lived up to his promise last season, when he threw for 2,177 yards, 15 touchdowns, and six interceptions.
