The Texas Longhorns faced the Ohio State Buckeyes in the college football playoff semifinals on Friday night. With Texas trailing Ohio State 21-14 in the fourth quarter, Quinn Ewers was sacked on a fourth-down play and lost the football and Jack Sawyer returned it for a touchdown to give the Buckeyes the 28-14 win over the Longhorns.
With Texas losing the game, the Quinn Ewers era is most likely over and the Arch Manning era can begin. Ewers on Friday completed 23-of-39 passes for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception.

Some Longhorns fans feel that if Manning played more against the Buckeyes they would be preparing to face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the National Championship Game next week. Texas has not won it all since 2005, but getting back to the semifinals in back-to-back seasons is a good first step for this Longhorns football program.
