ANN ARBOR, Mich.-- Vince Young as well as Texas came to Big 10 nation 19 years back as well as delivered a claim. Unflappable, Young pushed those Longhorns past No. 2 Ohio Condition, preparing show business for Texas' magical go to the championship game that finished along with Youthful's iconic dash past the Rose Dish pylon.The Longhorns were back in the Big Ten on Saturday. And also responsible for an additional imperturbable quarterback, Texas once more delivered a claim-- this time around in the Big Home-- that these Longhorns are actually primed for their personal title run.Behind junior quarterback Quinn Ewers, that, like Youthful carried out, always keeps saving his greatest performances for the brightest lightings, Texas extensively dismantled No. 10 Michigan en route to an unquestionable 31-12 victory." This activity isn't heading to describe our time," Longhorns trainer Steve Sarkisian said thereafter. "But I presume it would certainly function as a good measure of the sort of crew that our experts can be." With the levelheaded Ewers, these Longhorns might be a group that succeeds its first national championship because 2005. Encountering a Michigan defense still filled with various potential first-round NFL draft picks, featuring protective take on Builder Graham and also cornerback Will certainly Johnson, Texas moved the sphere at willpower. The Wolverines blitzed. They hung back. They disguised protections. They made an effort whatever. Nothing at all antagonized Ewers." Our team did a truly great project having fun with poise and composure," Ewers said.Editor's Picks2 RelatedThe Longhorns turned seven of their initial eight efforts on third down, with Ewers locating recipients again and again. He even turned on the different third-down attempt, however his scurrying, 24-yard goal strike to DeAndre Moore Jr. on the position drive was actually quashed through a holding call.That penalty brought about a missed out on basket, but it didn't matter. Ewers went back and continued finishing successfully pases." There's something about Quinn in his demeanor. He's a quite calm fella. He's truly picked up. He certainly never experiences the mental rollercoaster," Sarkisian claimed. "When you've obtained a quarterback that everyone can believe in, that merely gas confidence and also view that, 'Hey, allow's go perform our part, since the man that is actually keeping the sphere every play he gets on aspect.'"
