I saw the ball pop out right to me before I tackled him, I was just thinking I've got to keep on my feet.

Like I said, I almost blacked out when I scooped it, saw nothing but green grass ahead of me.

"Yeah I did.

He was walking off and he said, "screw you!", and started laughing.

That's my boy.

Obviously we were roommates when he was here and I have a lot of respect for him and the rest of the Texas team.

That's a great team.

They took it four quarters and they had a great season so shout out to them too." Ewers, who is expect enter the 2025 NFL Draft, said after the game: "I felt him, I started drifting away.

I thought I was going to be able to get the ball off before he got there,' the quarterback said.

But he's a great player, a great individual, a great person.
