Quinn Ewers
On being rusty after not playing in four weeks:
“I’m not going to tell you it was rust because I practiced the last two weeks. I didn’t play the way I wanted to today, but it’s 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to it.”
On playing not too far from his high school of Southlake Carroll:
“Definitely good to be back. Grew up not too far from here, so it’s always nice to get back into the Dallas air.”
On the offenses slow start:
“It was a rough start, but I think we did a good job of when adversity struck, we overcame it.”
Michael Taaffe
On his overall assessment of Texas’ win:
“Our best ball is yet to come.”
Quintrevion Wisner
On Silas Bolden’s hustle play recovering Wisner’s fumble in the end zone:
“That’s just who Silas is… For him to come in an correct one of my mistakes, I’m very grateful for that.”

On his postgame celebration at midfield:
