An instant classic, cardiac arrest-inducing, New Year’s resolution-busting glorious double-overtime win in Atlanta for Quinn Ewers and the Texas Longhorns. What a football game. Ewers saved the season when he audibled and sent Matthew Golden right down the middle, and the ball soon followed for a sensational throw and catch on fourth and 13 in the first overtime. On the very next play, he again read the defense and audibled to one of the best, if not the best, tight ends to ever play at Texas, and made another perfect throw to Mr. Helm for the first score in the second overtime. Ewers completed the pass to Golden in the back right corner of the endzone for the two point conversion (to think how different our world would be if he had completed a similar pass 365 days before). 14 points on 3 offensive plays that spanned a matter of seconds. Austin LBJ’s Andrew Mukuba, Sr., sealed the game with the interception, sending Texas to the Cotton Bowl and the football final four for the second year in a row. All of that despite the heroics of Cam Skattebo, who gave one of the greatest efforts you will ever see on the gridiron. Between the early 14 to 3 lead and those final moments in overtime, it was a roller coaster. More on the Peach Bowl below, but enjoy some of the memories.
