Quarterback Quinn Ewers completed only 19 of 49 passes in Texas' 41-34 loss to Oklahoma...
AUSTIN - Quinn Ewers didn’t attribute his erratic outing against Oklahoma State to the loss of a fingernail or the gales blowing through Boone Pickens Stadium last Saturday night. It was, the Texas quarterback conceded, just a bad day at the office.
Ewers threw behind receiver Xavier worthy on his first attempt. His second throw was picked off inside Texas territory. And after appearing to settle down while completing four straight passes to start 5 of 9, Ewers failed to throw consecutive completions for the remainder of the game. “We’ve got to keep pressing for more precision in the passing game,” Sarkisian said. “Really making a point and an emphasis on the timing and where we’re at on the field and having the correct spacing on the field. That’s getting guys working well together, with Quinn and the receivers and the tight ends and the timing of when these balls should be thrown and when they can expect that ball to be thrown. We were just a little bit off.
“I owe an apology to Longhorn Nation," Sarkisian said."I made a mistake at the end of the game in not singing 'The Eyes of Texas' when the game was done. That was not anything intentional. That was not anything that had to do with our players. I think our players just followed me up the ramp into the locker room. Obviously, upset by the way the game ended and literally walked off the field.
