Ehlinger in a sentence

She saw Ehlinger, surrounded by kids, guiding them into school buses.

Two seasons later, Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger pumped it up again with his exuberant “We’re baaaack!” after Texas thumped Georgia in the 2019 Sugar Bowl.

Ehlinger connected with Cade Brewer for the 2-point conversion to put the Longhorns up 34-31 with 4:27 remaining.

Ehlinger has been the full-time starter since 2018 and ranks second only to Colt McCoy in the school record book for passing yards and touchdowns.

I’m quite confident in Sam Ehlinger and offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich to get the job done by outscoring teams, but they must control the LOS and avoid costly penalties for that to happen.

Last fall, Ehlinger didn’t miss any playing time as a result of the injury, but the decline of his play following the first four games provides some evidence that it did impact him on the field.

Perhaps that wasn’t even the ultimate factor, either, as Ehlinger grew up a lifelong fan of the Longhorns and will now have another season to play with his younger brother, Jake, a walk-on linebacker who joined the program as a member of the 2019 class.

Statistically, it seems that Ehlinger will simply have to settle for second-best all time, ahead of names like Bobby Layne and James Brown, whose impact is undeniable on the legacy of Texas.

Two questions surround the running back position and the usage of Ehlinger.

Ehlinger said all three scoring plays were put in the week of the game.

Ehlinger’s stat line was probably more efficient than he was in this one, but regardless, the third-year quarterback was in full control behind the offensive line and looked comfortable running the RPO action.

However, there should be no doubt about Ehlinger being ready to play at a high-level this coming weekend.

In this Oct. 6, 2018, file photo, Oklahoma linebacker Kenneth Murray (9) attempts to tackle Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger (11).

Once again, though, the Oklahoma defense held, surrendering one third-and-long completion but not a second, as swallowed an Ehlinger scramble on 3rd-and-11.

Sam Ehlinger rams it in to give the Horns an early 7-0 lead.

Sam Ehlinger, though he finished 28-of-38 for 276 yards and four touchdowns, missed a few throws that would have extended drives.

Sam Ehlinger threw for 210 yards but no touchdowns for the Longhorns (4-2, 2-1), who stayed close with the help of two takeaways in the red zone in the first half.

What I haven't seen is that one guy on the D that is the heart and soul that elevates the play of everyone else like Ehlinger does on offense.

A general glimpse at the stat sheet may scream inefficiency, and that 15-33 effort wouldn’t surprise most given many of Ehlinger’s previous performances.
