This set game isn't mosting likely to define our time," Longhorns trainer Steve Sarkisian mentioned later. "Yet I presume it would certainly act as a fair measure of the type of team that our team might be." With the practical Ewers, these Longhorns might be a team that succeeds its very first national championship due to the fact that 2005. Encountering a Michigan self defense still packed along with numerous future first-round NFL receipt choices, including protective tackle Builder Graham and cornerback Will Johnson, Texas moved the sphere at willpower. The Wolverines blitzed. They hung back. They camouflaged insurance coverages. They attempted every little thing. Nothing worked against Ewers."
