Sam Ehlinger played like a Heisman front-runner (outside of the third quarter). His ability to stay calm and in charge allowed the Longhorns to erase a 15-point deficit in the final minutes and then win in overtime. He finished with 262 yards and five touchdown passes to just one interception. He was 27-of-40 through the air, adding 69 yards and a touchdown on 16 attempts. This wasn't an A game for Texas' best player, but he led the team to 63 points, including 25 in the fourth quarter and overtime. His composure and talent allowed the Longhorns to remain in control of their own destiny in the Big 12. - Austin American Statesman

Until the Texas safety picked off Tech quarterback Alan Bowman's fourth-and-14 prayer in overtime, Sterns' biggest moment of the day came on a non-pass interference call on a Tech incomplete pass. But his final-play interception should help him on the home front; two weeks ago, both of his younger brothers had big games at Jones AT&T Stadium as players for Houston Baptist; Josh Sterns had five catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns and Jerreth Sterns had 12 catches for 130 yards and a score in the opening loss to Tech. It was Caden Sterns' first career interception against Tech. - Austin American Statesman

SEPT 28 BIG 12 CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Sam Ehlinger, QB, Sr., Texas,...In the come-from-behind win at Texas Tech, Texas QB Sam Ehlinger completed 27-of-40 passes for 262 yards and tied his career high with five touchdowns. He also carried the ball 16 times for 69 yards and a touchdown. His six total touchdowns were a career high, while it marked his second-straight game with five passing touchdowns, making him the first player in school history to achieve that feat. The Big 12 award is the third for Ehlinger in his career and the second for the QB this season, while the honor is the first for Bailey this season and the second in his career. - Big 12 Football

Texas was trailing Texas Tech by 15 points with just more than 3 minutes to play when Sam Ehlinger walked over to his coach and delivered a message. The No. 8 Longhorns weren't out of it, the senior quarterback said. Far from it. Texas would leave the field a winner. Ehrlinger even predicted it. Ehlinger delivered on his promise, rallying Texas from a 56-41 deficit in the final 3:13 with touchdown passes to Brennan Eagles and Joshua Moore to force overtime, then finding Moore for another touchdown in a wild 63-56 victory.

Texas Tech thought it had the game put away late behind a diving touchdown catch by T.J. Vasher and a 75-yard touchdown run by SaRodorick Thompson Jr. Ehlinger just looked at the clock and did his thing with a brilliant finish. Ehlinger first connected with Eagles for a touchdown and the Longhorns snagged the onside kick when the ball bounced high and slipped through the hands of a Red Raiders player. After finding Moore for another score to get within 56-54, Ehlinger passed to Eagles again for the 2-point conversion. - AP College Football

Sam Ehlinger threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Moore in overtime, sending No. 8 Texas to a wild 63-56 victory over Texas Tech on Saturday that saw the Longhorns rally with two touchdowns in the final 3 minutes of regulation. Moore's second touchdown catch came with 40 seconds left and Ehlinger's 2-point conversion pass to Brennan Eagles tied it to get to overtime. Texas got the ball first and quickly scored when Ehlinger and Moore connected for their third score of the day. Texas Tech's possession ended when Alan Bowman was forced to scramble and threw a wild pass that was intercepted by Caden Sterns.

Texas, chasing its first Big 12 title since 2009, had looked done when the Red Raiders went ahead 56-41 late in the fourth quarter on touchdowns from T.J. Vasher and SaRodorick Thompson Jr. But Ehlginer engineered a quick drive for a touchdown pass to Eagles and the Longhorns recovered the onside kick to set up the tying score. Texas is 2-0 for the first time under fourth-year coach Tom Herman. Ehlinger finished with 262 yards passing with five touchdowns and also ran for a score for Texas (2-0 1-0) . Bowman passed for 325 yards and five touchdowns for the Red Raiders (1-1, 0-1) but also threw three interceptions. - AP College Football

09/17/20 - DeMarvion Overshown, rSr/2023, Texas, 6-3, 229 (DS#10 OLB) + More +

Saturday marked 714 days since Joshua Moore last took the field for the Texas Longhorns and 435 days since Moore was arrested in downtown Austin for carrying a loaded gun without a license, prompting a season-long suspension that kept Moore off the field in 2019. Moore only needed one play to spectacularly mark his return to Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, catching a pass on the first play from scrimmage for the Longhorns and racing 78 yards for the touchdown. In an interview with the media on Tuesday, Moore admitted that he didn't necessarily expect to make a play that quickly, but he did have confidence in himself to make an impact during his first game for the Longhorns in nearly two years. "I know what I bring to the table," Moore said. "I kind of figured, I haven't played for a year and a half, Saturday was my first game back, and just me being who I am, the competitor that I am, I knew I would make a big break at some point in the game. It didn't surprise me that it was the first play of the game. I knew, like I said, I was going to have some success during the game."

Moore did indeed have some success, even after the opening play, leading the team with six receptions for 127 yards on seven recorded targets. There was some room for improvement, as Moore wasn't on the same page as senior quarterback Sam Ehlinger on one play, breaking off a route that Ehlinger expected him to continue deep, dropped a difficult, contested catch, and missed a block when he was lined up as the single receiver. Still, Moore was able to provide the best evidence yet of his explosiveness since he arrived at Texas. - Burnt Orange Nation

09/15/20 - Jordan Whittington, rSr/2024, Texas, 6-1, 202 (DS#30 WR) + More +

Texas football has remained COVID-free these last few weeks, but now the ninth-ranked Longhorns are dealing with normal football-related injuries after the season-opening win over UTEP. Receiver Jordan Whittington will be out 3-4 weeks with a "small tear of his lateral meniscus," UT coach Tom Herman said Monday. Groin problems ruined Whittington's freshman season. With this injury, he'll be on the shelf possibly through the Oklahoma game on Oct. 10. "He'll have surgery here in the next couple of days," Herman said. "Nothing to repair, we don't think, so just a snip and clean out. I'm being told 3-4 weeks, so plan to have him back for most of conference play. So that was good news." - Austin American Statesman

09/15/20 - Sam Ehlinger, Sr/2021, Texas, 6-1, 220 (DS#9 QB) + More +

In a 59-3 beating of over UTEP on Saturday night, Ehlinger threw for 426 yards and five touchdowns. Ehlinger completed 25 of his 33 attempts. He played only one series in the second half. Ehlinger's 426 passing yards are the third-most in UT's history. Ehlinger and Texas Tech's Alan Bowman, who had 430 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-33 win over Houston Baptist, were the only Big 12 quarterbacks who topped 300 passing yards in their first games. In his postgame press conference, Ehlinger said he was actually "disappointed" with how he played against the Miners. Ehlinger noted that he missed on a couple of opportunities to put more points on the scoreboard. On the two first-half drives that Texas attempted field goals on, Ehlinger was unable to connect with receivers Tarik Black and Brennan Eagles on passes into the end zone.

During his weekly media availability on Monday, Texas coach Tom Herman was asked about Ehlinger's self-evaluation. Herman was pleased with Ehlinger's performance, but understood those comments. "Anytime you throw for 424 yards in a half and five touchdowns, that's a pretty good day at the office," Herman said. "There was a few (throws), I could see why he said what he said...Those were only a couple compared to the numerous really good reads and great throws that he made." - Austin American Statesman

The third-year sophomore was targeted a team-high seven times and had six catches for 127 yards and the long 78-yard touchdown. Moore didn't exactly come out of nowhere, but he had played in only six career games in two years; he redshirted in 2019 after after missing all but six games of 2018 with an injury. He and Michigan graduate transfer Tarik Black (5-80-1) combined for 13 targets. That's Devin Duvernay-type of attention. - Austin American Statesman

SEPT 14 BIG 12 OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Sam Ehlinger, QB, Sr., Texas,...A record-setting performance for Ehlinger included 424 passing yards and five touchdowns in the first half against UTEP to set Longhorn single-half records. He finished 25-for-33 with career-highs of 426 yards and five touchdowns through the air. That marks the third-most prolific passing game, in terms of yardage, in school history, and is tied for the second-most passing touchdowns in a single game on UT record. On Sunday, Ehlinger was tabbed the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Offensive Player of the Week. - Big 12 Football

Sam Ehlinger threw a 78-yard touchdown to Joshua Moore on the first play and had career-high five scoring passes in the first half, as No. 14 Texas rolled to a 59-3 season-opening win over UTEP Saturday night. Ehlinger finished with 426 yards. He left the game midway through the third quarter with Colt McCoy's single-game records for yards (470) and touchdowns (six) easily within reach if he'd stayed on the field. Moore's first touchdown since 2018 came on an inside route when he burst past one diving defender and outran two more with an easy path to the end zone. Ehlinger's final touchdown pass came on a 6-yard toss to walk-on Kai Money in the final seconds of the first half.

Texas' original schedule had the Longhorns visiting defending national champion LSU this weekend, in a rematch of a 2019 classic. But that game was scrapped as the Big 12 and Southeastern Conference retooled their schedules amid the coronavirus pandemic. With social distancing rules and limits in place, Texas announced a crowd of 15,337 at a stadium that typically holds close to 100,000. The school required students using a special student season ticket package to pass a rapid COVID-19 test on Friday before they could go to the game. The school paid for the tests and reported 95 positives out of 1,198 administered. No other ticket holders were required to be tested. - AP College/Texas Football

09/11/20 - *Samuel Cosmi, rJr/2021, Texas, 6-6, 314 (DS#6 OT) + More +

For Samuel Cosmi, the decision to play this fall was made in January. Eight months ago, the Texas left tackle took to Twitter to announce that he'd return to for his redshirt junior season. He tweeted that it was a dream for both him and his family to earn a degree. He also wanted to chase a championship with his teammates. Cosmi hasn't wavered in his decision. Not even during a pandemic. When asked on Tuesday if he had thought about focusing on the NFL draft instead of a college season that has plenty of unknown variables, he replied, "I haven't thought any of opting out."

"I'm all in right now," he added. "I still see myself as the kid walking on campus and trying to get a spot and figure out what am I going to do and how am I going to get on the field. I still have that mentality. None of this has really hit me. I'm here to play football." Had Cosmi had a change of heart, he wouldn't have been alone. A few players that will likely be chosen early in the 2021 draft won't be playing this fall. - Austin American Statesman
