When Texas got the ball back, Ewers was given the honors of taking a knee in what is expected to be his final game at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium (unless Texas hosts a College Football Playoff game). The Longhorns travel to play No. 15 Texas A&M at Kyle Field in the return of the historic Lone Star Showdown for the first time since 2011.

Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers has been a fixture in mock drafts since before the 2024 college season, though the signal-caller technically has more eligibility after the season. It feels a little safer now to include Ewers in the 2025 NFL Draft projections.
