Are you ready for some thrilling college football action? The No. 4 Texas team took on Colorado State in their season opener, and it was a game to remember. Quarterback Quinn Ewers dominated the field, passing for 260 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Longhorns to a commanding 52-0 victory.
One of the key highlights of the game was Ewers’ connection with Matthew Golden, leading to two touchdowns in the second quarter. With another strike to Isaiah Bond, the Longhorns built an impressive 31-0 lead by halftime.
With a revamped receiving corps, Texas faced questions about their passing attack after losing their top five receivers from the previous season. However, Ewers and his new teammates, including transfers Golden and Bond, quickly found their rhythm, carving up the Rams defense with ease.
Ewers showed his skill by spreading passes to 10 different receivers and accumulating 248 passing yards by halftime. The game took an interesting turn when backup QB Arch Manning took over in the third quarter and threw his first college touchdown pass, a 5-yard toss to Silas Bolden.
Looking ahead, Texas will face tougher challenges, including a matchup against No. 9 Michigan next week. The Longhorns’ season in the Southeastern Conference will also bring new tests as they go up against Mississippi State later in the month.
It was a dominant performance by Texas that showcased their strength and depth, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead. Stay tuned for more thrilling college football action from the Longhorns!
