Pregame

Steve Sarkisian told Longhorn Network that Quinn Ewers will start at quarterback, confirming an Inside Texas report.

Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel participated in pregame warmups, but there is no indication as to his status. He is, at least, dressed to play.

Texas QB-OC pairings: Quinn Ewers and Jake Majors. Hudson Card and Connor Robertson. Charles Wright and Logan Parr. Maalik Murphy and Cole Hutson.

On the other side of the field, Gabriel is warming up with first-string Sooner center Andrew Raym.

It does not appear as if Quinn Ewers has any sort of obvious brace or apparatus on his left shoulder.

Dillon Gabriel takes the first snap in the 11 on 11 segment of Oklahoma’s pregame warmups.
