Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for five touchdowns on the Gators' secondary ... in three quarters. He gave way to Arch Manning or it could be even worse. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian got his quarterback out once the game was decided or he could have added a couple more.

Coming off an open week, the Longhorns showed no signs of sluggishness on Saturday, dominating a beat-up Florida team.

Texas avoided having the Florida game become a trap in the lead-up to the postseason. Texas was seeded sixth in the initial CFP projections.
