Texas’ 52-10 season-opening win over Louisiana-Monroe (0-1) at Royal-Memorial Stadium...
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, front left, looks to pass during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Louisiana-Monroe, Saturday, Sept. 3, 2022, in Austin, Texas. AUSTIN — In time, Texas might need quarterback Quinn Ewers to really sling it. Coach Steve Sarkisian brought the Ohio State transfer here to do just that, to use his famed arm for heroic football deeds and heal a program that’s been sputtering for about a decade now.
Ewers played a strong game in his first career start save for one early interception delivered into triple coverage and a few overthrows. With Sarkisian calling a more conservative offense, Ewers completed 16-of-24 passes for 225 yards with two touchdowns while delivering a couple crowd-pleasing darts.
Take sophomore tight end Ja’Tavion Sanders, who emerged as Ewers’ go-to guy early and often. He was on the receiving end of Ewers’ first two completions, the second a 19-yard touchdown late in the first quarter, and finished the game with six receptions on six targets for a game-high 85 yards. Robinson needed only 13 total touches to amass 111 yards. He also scored on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Ewers and embarrassed a few Warhawks on a silky 9-yard touchdown scamper early in the third quarter.
Sophomore jack end Barryn Sorrell was flying off the edge, an electric presence who proved too quick and powerful for ULM’s pass protection. In his first career start, Sorrell recorded six tackles, 2.0 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks. True freshman Jaylon Guilbeau got the start at Spur and flew in for a physical third-down pass breakup on the Warhawks’ opening drive. That helped setup Texas’ first score of the season.
