Quinn Ewers stats today: How did the Texas star perform against Arkansas?

On Saturday, Quinn Ewers and the No. 3 Texas Longhorns (9-1, 5-1 SEC) continued their path to the Southeastern Conference championship game with a 20-10 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks (5-5, 3-4).

Ewers secured a pair of hands and avoided any potentially costly turnovers in the road game at Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Ewers threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns. He completed 20 of 32 passes (62.5%). He also had five carries of the ball but recorded -5 rushing yards. The yardage was a season-low for the signal-caller.

After the game, Coach Steve Sarkisian praised the star signal-caller.

“When you just don’t have as many opportunities, you’ve got to try to maximize them when you get them,” Sarkisian said (via ESPN). “Him taking care of the football, converting on third downs and what a play on fourth down to kind of seal the game. I was proud of him for that.”

Ewers connected with eight receivers in Week 12, and six had at least two receptions. Isaiah Bond led Texas receiver corp with 48 yards in four catches. Matthew Golden caught two passes for 21 yards and two TDs.

Running backs Jaydon Blue and Quintrevion Wisner gave the Longhorns the bulk of their yardage, with 83 and 59 rushing yards, respectively.

Quinn Ewers' stats for Texas this season

The Texas Longhorns quarterback entered the season with Heisman Trophy aspirations. Some weeks on the sideline due to injury and subpar performances have killed those aspirations. However, last week's five-touchdown performance against Florida had put him back in contention in the minds of some. This game did the opposite.

So far this year, he has thrown for 1,722 yards, 19 touchdowns and six interceptions. His QBR is a not-too-bright 71.8, which ranks 36th. He doesn't seem to be on his way to improve his 3,479 yards, with 22 touchdowns and six interceptions of last year.

The only number he has improved this season is his completion percentage, which is 69.3%, a bit better than last year's 69.0%. However, the difference is so small one bad game could still put him under last year's number.
