ARLINGTON -- Quinn Ewers knelt on the AT&T Stadium turf, watching his former roommate, Jack Sawyer, take what should’ve been his game-tying touchdown ball 83 yards in the opposite direction on a fumble recovery that ended Texas’s season in the College Football Playoff semifinals for the second-consecutive year. 

“It’s the life of a competitor,” Ewers said. “It sucks being on this side of things. I mean, back-to-back years pretty much (that) the game is decided on one play.”
