AUSTIN, Texas — On a fine November afternoon when Quinn Ewers threw a near-record five touchdown passes and Texas caught breaks from a couple of teams in front of them in the College Football Playoff rankings, one decision pretty much summed up the fifth-ranked Longhorns’ swagger as they swamped Florida, 49-17, at Royal-Memorial Stadium: Second possession of the game, fourth-and-1 from his own 24, Steve Sarkisian “didn’t blink,” as he put it. Didn’t even wait for his analytics guy to tell him what the book said to do in just such a situation. And what, exactly, did the book say? “It said to go,” Sark said.
“So, if we didn’t make it, I would have said, ‘The book said to go.’ " Fortunately for Sarkisian as well as the Longhorns, everything went by the book Saturday, starting with the fact that their first game back after a couple of less-than-artful performances and a bye week was against no less than the beleaguered Gators.
