Owen McCown QB vs. Quinn Ewers QB
UTSA Roadrunners owe grateful thanks to Owen McCown who has so far shown both effectiveness and resilience completing 62.3% of his attempts within the first two matches. He has himself thrown for 445 yards with three touchdowns but has already been sacked five times contributing to the perception of weakness against tough Texas defenses. If the Roadrunners want to be competitive in this game, their quarterback has to escape a tough Texas’ defensive line and find his main targets.
Quinn Ewers of the Texas Longhorns is also enjoying a great start to the season, going for 506 yards with 6 touchdowns and 1 interception for an outstanding passer rating of 165.6. There is no denying Ewers’ ability and mastery of the offense, which positions him as an important cog in the Texas firepower. His level of play in this category, especially his ability to avoid taking hits and staying poised in the pocket, will be crucial determinants that can help in stretching out the lead in this particular match up.
UTSA’s Ground and Air Attack
The Roadrunners’ offense, spearheaded by Robert Henry and Willie McCoy, has shown flashes of potential. Henry, although averaging just 3.7 yards per carry, has the agility to find gaps, but will need more openings against a stout Texas line. McCoy’s ability to pull down receptions averaging 16.9 yards showcases his big-play potential, which must be leveraged to stretch the Longhorns’ defense.
Texas’ Offensive Prowess
For Texas, Jerrick Gibson’s rushing prowess complements Ewers’ aerial attacks perfectly, providing a balanced offensive strategy that can wear down defenses. Gibson’s 5.2 yards per carry highlight his efficiency, making him a constant threat in the backfield. Isaiah Bond’s consistency as a receiver, with an average of 14 yards per catch, ensures that the Longhorns can maintain their drives and potentially exploit UTSA’s defensive gaps.
