### Quinn Ewers Reflects on Performance, Eyes Georgia Showdown

**Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has pinpointed the areas where he faltered in a recent game against Oklahoma and is now focused on redemption as the Longhorns prepare for a highly anticipated clash with Georgia.**

**AUSTIN, Texas** – As the No. 1 Texas Longhorns gear up for a critical matchup against No. 5 Georgia, the team’s redshirt junior quarterback, Quinn Ewers, is gearing up for his 30th college start. This high-stakes game marks the first top-five showdown in Austin since 2006. The last time Texas faced such a matchup was against Ohio State, where they suffered a 24-7 loss.

Saturday night’s game will not only be a significant test for Texas but also a personal milestone for Ewers. Head coach Steve Sarkisian previously advised Ewers to return to college rather than head to the NFL early, suggesting that quarterbacks with at least 30 college starts tend to transition better to professional play. Longhorns are keen on securing a victory against a tough Georgia team, whom they have historically performed well against, boasting a 4-1 record in previous encounters.

In a recent 34-3 victory over Oklahoma, Ewers struggled after returning from an abdominal strain, completing 20-of-29 passes for 199 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Reflecting on that game, Ewers mentioned that he didn't practice as well as he would have liked, impacting his performance. Determined to improve, he aims to elevate his game against Georgia, suggesting that his lack of preparation speed and confidence in practice were contributing factors to his less-than-stellar showing.

Despite his subpar performance, Ewers believes the Longhorns' ability to dominate Oklahoma demonstrates the team’s versatility and resilience. This sentiment is echoed by Coach Sarkisian and the entire squad, who collectively emphasize the importance of playing complementary football, leveraging both offensive and defensive strengths to win matches.

Ewers is no stranger to big games, having delivered stellar performances against top-ranked teams like Alabama and Michigan in the past. This time, he is determined to be at his best against a formidable Georgia defense, which is one of the toughest Texas will face this season. Acknowledging the challenge, Ewers emphasized the importance of maintaining composure and adapting to the fast pace of the game.

As ESPN’s College GameDay sets the stage for this monumental showdown, all eyes will be on Ewers and his counterpart, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck. Both were preseason Heisman Trophy contenders and will face intense scrutiny and analysis.

As the Longhorns prepare for this crucial game, Ewers aims to lead his team to victory, confident that they can overcome any adversity that comes their way. Emphasizing the importance of preparation, he remains focused on delivering a standout performance on Saturday night.
