3 Days Until Kickoff — Who’s Your Favorite No. 3?

[Blake Munroe]

We are down to just three days before the Longhorns square off against the Buckeyes in Columbus for the season opener.

Who Is your favorite No. 3 to play for Texas?

Some options today include…

Jordan Hicks

 

Quinn Ewers

 

Nate Vasher

 

Mossy Cade

[General Grant]

Quinn brought us back.  Great Horn.

Quinn. 

His recruitment jump started the Sark regime much like Ricky coming back for his senior year did for Mack.  Getting to boo that jackwagon Yormark was fun too!  When he was healthy early in seasons, he did damage versus Bama X 2 and Michigan.  It's easy to remember the flaws, but he was pretty damn good.

[McCoy2Shipley]

Its too bad Hicks got caught in a bad stretch of Texas football. Damn good player. Quinn will always be a favorite. Say what you want, but still lead us to back-to-back semifinal appearances, and won some damn big games

Quinn

[Oldest Horn]

Derrick Hatchett was a very underrated corner for us. Three year starter with Johnnie Johnson and Ricky Churchman at safeties. 

[Jeff Howe]

Billy "Sure" Schott!

There's only one answer, Quinn, without him we're looking back instead of what's to come.

[FAFO]

The QUINN ewers.

 

injuries derailed a new york trip!

Quinn holds a special place in my heart. He was the first major recruit I ever really followed. He also brought this program out from a very dark place. He wasn't the perfect QB, but he is an all-time Horn.

He can tell some stories of the Darrell Royal days. 

[UTexas]

Going with a fellow East Texas on this one. Nathan Vasher.

He's the best.

My brain says Nathan Vasher.

My heart says Jordan Hicks, Shon Mitchell or Hodges Mitchell.

My brain says Vasher too. 
My heart says Quinn so I’m rolling with Quinn

I don't know if anyone else feels like today is flying by, I'm supposed to take ambien to sleep, but bump that you ain't gonna catch me like Lil Nas X walking down the street in my underwear🤣 I've been up since 2 am

These are all subjective, obviously, but man, it's really easy to make the case for QE for his career at Texas.

• B2B Semi-Finals
• Conference Championship, played for another (first-ever Texas QB to lead his team to B2B conference title games.)
• 3rd at Texas all-time in passing yds
• 3rd at Texas all-time in passing TDs
• 4th at Texas all-time in wins (27-9 in 3 years as a starter)
• 2-1 vs 0u, 1-0 vs 8&4.

Everyone on the list is worthy of being there (loves me some Jordan Hicks!), but QE, in 3 years, took us from slightly above average to winning conference championships and playing for natties.  Respect...

Quinn is the only correct answer to be apart of waking up the sleeping giant that is Texas now after 15 years
