AUSTIN, Texas — Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who only threw five interceptions during all of 2018, threw four picks against the Horned Frogs, something he said he can’t recall doing before at any level.
“Obviously you can’t win games when you don’t win the turnover battle,” he said. “It’s as plain and simple as that.”
Players said there is[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level2)] no loss of confidence in the offense or Ehlinger, who is on pace to blow his 2018 numbers of 3,292 yards and 25 touchdowns out of the water, as he already has thrown for 2,378 yards and 23 scores.
“I always have confidence in Sam,” wide receiver Devin Duvernay said. “Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has their days. It’s something you look past and we know he’ll be better.”
Offensive lineman Zach Shackelford said, like sacks with the offensive line, interceptions aren’t always the fault of the quarterback.
“Sam’s a dude,” he said. “He bounces back. Not all those mistakes are on him — a couple of those were on the offensive line. It’s not always the quarterback’s fault when interceptions happen.”
