Ewers completed 24 of 36 passes for 246 yards, three touchdowns, and a 151.6 passer rating. He remained composed despite the intense atmosphere and never shied away from the moment.
Notably, Ewers also had an encounter with a young Michigan fan and his father, who, despite a slight display of disrespect, were able to get a photo with him.
After the game, Ewers was approached by a young Michigan fan and his father, who asked for a photo. Ewers, being a class act, agreed immediately.
However, the father signaled to his son to drop the “horns down” hand symbol, a gesture that Texas fans take seriously and which some view as disrespectful. Despite this, Ewers maintained his class and professionalism throughout the interaction.
