- 6:46Speaker 5: the good side, felt like they were going to run
- 6:48Speaker 5: away with it. Arizona State came fighting back in the
- 6:50Speaker 5: spite of twenty four to eight lead for Texas. The
- 6:53Speaker 5: Sun Devils would end up tying the game, and two

- 7:11Speaker 5: Austin native, with the game ceiling interception, and now the
- 7:15Speaker 5: Longhorns are back in the College Football Playoffs semi finals
- 7:19Speaker 5: for the second consecutive year. Well, they'll face a familiar quarterback,
- 7:24Speaker 5: Will Howard in Ohio State next Friday in Arlington, Texas
- 7:29Speaker 5: at AT and T Stadium. It's the Cotton Bowl with
- 7:32Speaker 5: a six to three pm kickoff. Good after dude, Cameron
- 7:35Speaker 5: Parker filling in for Craigway and Craig out today because
- 7:40Speaker 5: well he's traveling to Norman, Oklahoma as Texas will take
- 7:44Speaker 5: on the Oklahoma Sooners and women's basketball tonight. But Craig
- 7:49Speaker 5: fortunate enough to be able to spend some time with
- 7:52Speaker 5: us this afternoon right now here on The Craigway Show.
- 7:55Speaker 5: And Craig, You've had some fantastic fourth down calls during
- 8:01Speaker 5: your Texas football career. I mean even the last two
- 8:03Speaker 5: seasons there. It feels like every other game there's a
- 8:06Speaker 5: fourth down goal line stand from this defense, whether it's
- 8:09Speaker 5: Kansas State last year, A and M this year, Clemson,
- 8:12Speaker 5: Arizona State this year, and of course there's a fourth
- 8:15Speaker 5: and five Vince Young against USC the National Championship, his
- 8:18Speaker 5: game winning touchdown. Now, the fourth down conversion in overtime,
- 8:22Speaker 5: it's probably not the same as fourth and five, Craig,
- 8:25Speaker 5: but it's definitely up there.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what it, Pam is It reminded me
- 8:32Speaker 1: of a play that happened twenty years ago. It was
- 8:35Speaker 1: fourth down and seventeen. I believe it was fourth and
- 8:41Speaker 1: or fourth and eight eighteen, and Texas was on the
- 8:45Speaker 1: ropes at Kansas and Vin Young picked it up on
- 8:50Speaker 1: what seemingly looked like three strides. He just kind of
- 8:53Speaker 1: glided in for twenty three yards and then two plays
- 8:56Speaker 1: later was able to throw a game winning touchdown pass
- 9:01Speaker 1: to Tony Jeffrey. And the impact of that game was
- 9:05Speaker 1: and I'd mentioned this is that if he doesn't convert
- 9:10Speaker 1: that because Texas was down to Kansas twenty three to
- 9:12Speaker 1: thirteen with like just under four minutes to go. If
- 9:16Speaker 1: he doesn't convert that that fourth and eighteen play, Texas
- 9:20Speaker 1: doesn't win that game at Kansas, they don't go to
- 9:23Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl to play Michigan, and I don't think
- 9:25Speaker 1: it sets the stage for the great run next year
- 9:29Speaker 1: to win the national championship. Put it this way, they
- 9:31Speaker 1: would have had to do a lot more, would have
- 9:32Speaker 1: been a lot harder path to get to that Rose
- 9:35Speaker 1: Bowl than when they started at number two next year.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Because the way they finished two thousand and four season,
- 9:41Speaker 1: with that thrilling win over Michigan or Rose Bowl, they
- 9:43Speaker 1: never would have been in the Rose Bowl.
- 9:44Speaker 2: They would have gone to the Alamo Bowls.
- 9:46Speaker 1: And even when they won that, and then when their
- 9:48Speaker 1: last game, you had Aaron Rodgers playing for Cal at
- 9:50Speaker 1: the time, grumbling and grankings saying they deserve to go
- 9:54Speaker 1: Cal instead of Texas.
- 9:55Speaker 2: They didn't get the bid.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Cal, by the way, went promptly down the coast to
- 9:59Speaker 1: play two tacking the Holiday Bowl, and Tech beat them
- 10:03Speaker 1: I think seventeen points a Tech team that lost at
- 10:06Speaker 1: home by thirty to Texas. So all of that stuff
- 10:09Speaker 1: was put in motion by the fourth and eighteen run
- 10:12Speaker 1: by Vin Young, and I think you know, obviously the
- 10:15Speaker 1: long Ones were down to their last down there on
- 10:19Speaker 1: fourth down and thirteen, and if Quinn Viewers doesn't make
- 10:23Speaker 1: the pass for the touchdown, they don't win the game
- 10:25Speaker 1: yesterday and their season is over.
- 10:27Speaker 2: But he was so cool and so calm under it.
- 10:30Speaker 1: They said in the postgame press conferences that they worked
- 10:34Speaker 1: that play in practice against the Blitz with zero coverage
- 10:38Speaker 1: where they was just man coverage and there was Matthew
- 10:41Speaker 1: Golden able to get to the end.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Zime.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Yeah, we have some postgame sound from Sark and quin
- 10:45Speaker 5: Ewers that will play later on in the show. And
- 10:47Speaker 5: to your point, Craig, they said, yeah, we practiced that
- 10:49Speaker 5: same play against that same defensive look, and we got
- 10:52Speaker 5: it against Arizona State and Texas executed it perfectly, real quick, Craig,
- 10:58Speaker 5: before we hit this break, hopefully you can say with
- 11:00Speaker 5: for one more segment, the grit and determination from Quinn youwers.
- 11:05Speaker 5: I mean, it reminds me of a lot of other
- 11:06Speaker 5: past Texas quarterbacks like Sam Ellinger, like Colt McCoy, like
- 11:10Speaker 5: Finn Shong that just no matter what they seem to
- 11:13Speaker 5: always show up in the big moments.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I totally agree with all of that. He's a gritty,
- 11:20Speaker 1: tough guy. And I'll give you one more name as well.
- 11:23Speaker 1: And there's a reason why I say this name. The
- 11:25Speaker 1: other name that I would toss in there would be
- 11:26Speaker 1: Chris Simms, because Chris Sims went through a lot, He
- 11:29Speaker 1: went through some adversity, and Chris Sims, to this day,
- 11:33Speaker 1: I think remains the most unappreciated quarterback in Texas history.
- 11:38Speaker 2: But Quinn Ewers is quickly climbing the ladder.
- 11:41Speaker 1: There was a great piece written in The Athletic Today
- 11:43Speaker 1: by Sam cohn or after the game last night about
- 11:46Speaker 1: how Texas fans so many, not all of them, but
- 11:50Speaker 1: there are a lot of Texas fans ready to move on,
- 11:52Speaker 1: let's move on to Arch and they're not appreciating Quinn
- 11:55Speaker 1: not only for the moment what he's doing, but for
- 11:58Speaker 1: what this team is doing getting back to the Final four.
- 12:01Speaker 2: And I think Sam made a good point.
- 12:03Speaker 1: And you know, when Mike scrambled to get to the
- 12:05Speaker 1: airport yesterday after we got off the air of make
- 12:08Speaker 1: a flight to get the Dallasport Worth to connect to
- 12:11Speaker 1: get up here to Oklahoma, City to get the Norman
- 12:13Speaker 1: to call this huge women's game to night between number
- 12:16Speaker 1: five Texas and number nine Ou opening up SEC play.
- 12:20Speaker 1: But as I was scrambling through, I read a lot
- 12:21Speaker 1: of other things on social media, and there was just
- 12:24Speaker 1: a lot of people that just were more happy grumbling
- 12:27Speaker 1: about the things that didn't work than the things that
- 12:30Speaker 1: did work and in a memorable double overtime game, a
- 12:34Speaker 1: win for Texas, which by the way makes them the
- 12:36Speaker 1: first team in college football Playoff history to win all
- 12:40Speaker 1: six New Year's Six bowl games.
- 12:42Speaker 2: The only one they had won was the Peach Bowl.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Now they've done that.
- 12:45Speaker 1: So I think there's an unappreciation not only for Quinn,
- 12:49Speaker 1: but really for this long wrun team overall, and hopefully
- 12:51Speaker 1: folks will appreciate it a little more as they move
- 12:53Speaker 1: into the Final Four for the second straight year.
- 12:56Speaker 5: Say with us for one more segment, Craig got to
- 12:58Speaker 5: hit a break We'll continue the breakdown on this game
- 13:00Speaker 5: and also talk about Texas basketball against Oklahoma tonight, a
- 13:03Speaker 5: huge SEC opener and then a big win for the men.
- 13:06Speaker 5: On Saturday, they take on A and M down in
- 13:10Speaker 5: College Station seven pm tip off time. We'll be back
- 13:13Speaker 5: here on the Craig Wave Show just getting started recapping
- 13:16Speaker 5: Texas's victory over Arizona State
- 13:18Speaker 2: In the College Football Playoff quarterfinal
