Missing the top to backs could put more pressure on first-year quarterback Quinn Ewers, who struggled even while Texas finished the regular season with three wins in its last four games.
This has been an up-and-down season for a quarterback who skipped his senior season of high school, signed with Ohio State, then bolted to Texas last spring. An early clavicle injury knocked him out of a few games.
“You never like losing a few of your better players like that, but that’s why you recruit, that’s why you have a deep roster,” Sarkisian said. “So that when your number’s called, you can step up and play well.”The Huskies have Penix back next season and they could have the majority of his top pass catchers, too.
That trio will be facing a Longhorns secondary that allowed only 16 passing touchdowns, the least in the Big 12.It will likely feel very much like home game for Texas. The Longhorns are playing just a 75-mile drive from their campus in Austin and their fans have a history of packing the Alamodome. Texas will be playing in the Alamo Bowl for second time in three years and the fifth time since 2012.This will be the second time that Sarkisian coaches against the team he led from 2009-13.
