Couple things:
I. I could see your point about Ewers potentially having bad days ahead if
II. Texas' schedule for the remainder of the season is a bit overrated and there's no freaking way that TCU or Oklahoma State will finish the season in the top 10. The toughest team that either of them have faced up to this point is an average Baylor team, which is likely a 7 or 8 win team this year. Sure, they both have dynamic QB's which give them the ability to win any game, but they both are absolutely horrible in pass defense, ranked 110th and 126th out of the 131 teams in the FBS. Do you think either of these teams are capable of forcing Quinn into one of the bad games that you think he has in store this season?
If Texas can remain healthy, the only concern that I see for this team for the remainder of the season is their inability to contain mobile dual threat qb's that are fairly good at passing the ball. That issue will make TCU, OSU and Kansas and Kansas State somewhat dicey propositions, but I'm not sure that TCU or OSU will be able to stop Texas' offense. The only reason Tech beat Texas is that their defense is actually pretty decent and they were playing against Texas' second string QB, who was playing injured.

- Texas had an O-Line that looked anything like the one they had last year in pass protection.
- If Ewers had shown any sign of emotional fragility on the field.
- If Texas had a monsters row of tough defenses on the schedule.
