"You lose your starting quarterback, that's never fun," Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said after the game. "Then your backup gets in the game, and he's halfway injured."
According to multiple reports, Ewers suffered an SC sprain and will miss 2-3 weeks while he recovers.
Ewers was one of the top-rated quarterbacks coming out of high school and initially joined Ohio State before transferring to Texas. He beat out Hudson Card for the starting quarterback role.
