The Crimson Tide struggled to keep Quinn Ewers out of a rhythm on Saturday night.
Quinn Ewers took the snap, the pocket remaining clean as it did for most of Saturday night, and he looked upfield to find another white jersey with a few yards of separation. Hitting the end of his dropback, Ewers’ choice was obvious.defense was Texas wideout Adonai Mitchell for what would be his second touchdown catch of the game. He pranced across the goal line untouched for a 39-yard strike. Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian knew his team would need “haymakers” to upset No.
Saban said each of Texas’ long passes came off “something different.” He couldn’t identify one particular player as the weak link — the Tide started a freshman safety in Caleb Downs and two other starters were coming off injuries and didn’t practice until Thursday. Texas’ first score came via aggressive play-calling by Sarkisian, whom Tide cornerback Terrion Arnold referred to as a “genius” a few days ago. Sarkisian sent Xavier Worthy on three straight fly-routes. The results? Overthrow, pass-interference, 44-yard touchdown. At one point, Saban said the Tide played “quarters defense” or four defensive backs covering the backend. Sarkisian ran a “quarters-beater” and isolated a defender for a big gain.
