When Sam Ehlinger, an Austin native and lifelong Longhorn fan, was thrust into his first start for Texas against San José State in 2017, he didn’t just fill in—he made history. Taking over at the last minute, Ehlinger helped lead Texas to a dominant 56-0 shutout, showing poise beyond his years and igniting hope for the future. His performance—222 passing yards, a touchdown, and 48 rushing yards—set the stage for him to become a cornerstone of the team. It’s wild to think how one unexpected opportunity can change everything. What moments like this do you remember from your own life or from Texas football? #Sports #Football #TexasFootball
