Texas QB Quinn Ewers threw for more yards (369 to 287) and with more accuracy (66 percent to 59 percent) than the nation’s leading passer, Michael Penix Jr. of the Huskies.
Washington tight end Devin Culp runs with the ball during the Valero Alamo Bowl at the Alamodome on Thursday.For Texas, the Valero Alamo Bowl hung on the shoulders of a redshirt freshman quarterback. Nineteen-year-old Quinn Ewers possesses NFL arm strength but little college experience.
It wasn’t enough. Washington defeated Texas , 27-20, in part, because the Huskies unleashed a superior running game. And because Penix delivered big when he needed to: throwing two touchdown passes, converting third down after third down, chewing up the clock in the fourth quarter and extending drives that sucked the air and life out of a pro-Texas crowd. No surprise, then, that he was named Offensive MVP and burnished his reputation: Heisman candidate for 2023.Nonprofit news is the future.
“We knew we were going to have to throw the ball more,” said Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian, “and that would give us the best chance.” University of Texas running back Keilan Robinson runs the ball past University of Washington safety Asa Turner during the Valero Alamo Bowl at the Alamodome on Thursday.“It was a game of missed opportunities for us,” Sarkisian said. “We just didn’t make enough plays.”
