This one activity isn't going to specify our time," Longhorns trainer Steve Sarkisian said later. "But I assume it would serve as a pretty good measure of the kind of staff that we can be." With the practical Ewers, these Longhorns can be a group that wins its own very first national championship due to the fact that 2005. Dealing with a Michigan self defense still loaded along with multiple future first-round NFL draft selections, including protective tackle Mason Graham as well as cornerback Are going to Johnson, Texas moved the round at will. The Wolverines blitzed. They dropped back. They masqueraded insurance coverages. They tried everything. Nothing worked against Ewers."
