Ewers sat out last year at [Ohio State,](https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/odds/ohio-state-buckeyes) so there are no stats to draw upon, but he was a highly regarded five-star talent coming out of Southlake Carroll in the Dallas area. With that in mind, I think you’ll see a hyper-focused start to this game from the Longhorns on both sides of the ball. Get up-to-the-minute [college football odds here.](https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/odds) The defense’s improvement (or lack thereof) will likely determine what kind of season materializes in Austin. [DraftKings](https://www.actionnetwork.com/online-sports-betting/reviews/draftkings). The duo combined for over 100 tackles last year but only had three tackles for loss and two sacks. With a new defense breaking in several first-time starters, it’s hard to see the Warhawks having much success stopping the Longhorns in a road opener. After a 4-1 start, the wheels came off for the Longhorns, starting with a blown 28-7 lead at the Cotton Bowl against The job of rebuilding the line is made more difficult with the departure of left tack Willie Tyler to While the skill positions have talent, the Warhawks’ offensive success will be determined by the offensive line. Rogers shared the starting role in 2021 but won the job this year in camp. Unfortunately for Bowden, he lost both of his coordinators in the offseason.

[Over/Under](https://sportsbookwire.usatoday.com/2019/07/11/betting-101-the-over-under/) The Longhorns come into the season with a new vigor due to the transfer in of QB Quinn Ewers.

The Ewers era is underway, and he might have found his early safety net. That and more from Texas' 42-point win.

I’d need to rewatch the film to catch everything, but Guilbeau was in on a tackle on the first drive and then forced a pass breakup to force the punt that Jamison went on to block. Later, his pressure off the edge forced a throw into the dirt, and then yet again, his pressure forced a poor pass, which Jamison returned for a pick six. But situationally, when things got tight, Ewers turned to Sanders, as the two turned a 4th and 4 into a five-yard pickup to move the chains, and towards the end of the first half, turned a 4th and 7 into a 10 yard gain to give Texas a shot at a field goal. Just moments into the game following a ULM three-and-out, D’Shawn Jamison sped in to block the punt, which Keilan Robinson scooped up and returned 12 yards for a score. He missed on a few deep touchdown strikes that he — and Xavier Worthy — would love to have back, but with the win secured, they’ll be learning opportunities for the young gunslinger as he settles into his role. More than a third of Ewers’ 16 completions were to Sanders (6), which the true sophomore turned into 85 yards and Texas’ first offensive score of the night.

Texas is the favorite in this one, with an expected 38.5-point (!) margin of victory.

Steve Sarkisian and Quinn Ewers will be leading the way for Texas football into a very winnable game against UL-Monroe on Sep. 3.

If Ewers can start the season off on a high note, then the Longhorns should dominate this game right from the get-go. Expect a heavy dose of Bijan Robinson and Xavier Worthy to help build the confidence of Quinn Ewers in his first career start. Look for Quinn to throw all over this young Warhawk secondary on offense. Texas is set to take on head coach Terry Bowden and [ the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks](https://hookemheadlines.com/2022/08/31/watch-texas-football-vs-ul-monroe-tv-live-stream-game-time-pick/) out of the Sun Belt at home under the lights at Darrell K. In the next two weekends, the Longhorns are set to face the No. Though I think the ULM offense will have trouble moving the ball, I could see them putting together a few scoring drives against the Longhorn backups.
