The Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers should be able to shred the Huskies porous pass defense.
Expect sophomore Jonathon Brooks to be the featured back for Texas in Thursday’s game after Bijan Robinson and Roschon Jonson opted to sit out with an eye on the NFL.On Thursday night, 12th-ranked Washington and 20th-ranked Texas will collide in the 30th edition of the Alamo Bowl. More than 60,000 fans are expected to pack the Alamodome to see the third-place finishers from the Big 12 and Pac-12 go at it.
Once in the same shoes as Manning, Ewers has experienced his share of ups and downs amid his first season as a collegiate starter. The Ohio State transfer is still brimming with first-round-pick talent, he just needs to improve his decision-making and accuracy. Most teams wouldn’t be able to recover from those departures so suddenly. Texas might not have a Robinson replica in the locker room — who does? — but the backfield should be in good hands with sophomore Jonathon Brooks, fourth-year junior Keilan Robinson and true freshman Jaydon Blue.
“Mike obviously as a playmaker, his God-given ability is undeniable,” UW offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said. “But what he did as a leader when he came into this program and quietly assumed his role and then took over as quarterback I think is impressive.” Texas’ defensive line has added some bite after a toothless 2021 campaign. Loaded with hulking interior defenders and crafty edge rushers, the Longhorns led the Big 12 with 276 quarterback pressures.
