Greg McElroy lauds Texas’s ‘complete, dominant’ performance in win over Florida
Greg McElroy was impressed with what he saw from the Texas Longhorns in Week 11. The team improved to 8-1 on the season after dismantling Florida, winning 49-17.
It was a much-needed, easy win for the Longhorns, who hadn’t had an impressive victory in almost a month.
“This is the Texas we’ve been waiting for,” said McElroy. “I’m so happy it came to the surface finally. It feels like Texas has kind of been playing with their food a little bit.”
“This is the @TexasFootball we’ve been waiting for ‼️”

The Longhorns started off the season 6-0 before losing to Georgia. The team then beat Vanderbilt by just 7 points. Heading into Week 11 against Florida, the Longhorns needed to get a convincing win to feel good for the stretch run.
“This was a complimentary win, 49-17,” said McElroy. “You score the first 42 points of the game, 3 of those touchdowns come off turnovers forced by the defense. That was a comfortable win from start to finish.”
It was a bounce-back game for Quinn Ewers as well, who threw for 333 yards and 5 TDs. The Longhorns collected 562 total yards of offense and held the Gators scoreless in the 1st half. The Longhorn defense also forced 3 turnovers on the day.
The next test for Texas will be in Week 12 against Arkansas. The Longhorns and Razorbacks will kick off from Razorback Stadium on Saturday at noon ET.
I will agree on it was an easy win.i wouldn’t take to much stock in,it. UF is down,to,a third string QB who we all could see is clearly limited in,what he and UF can do on offense. He spotted Texas 3 it’s and 21points. Uf has so,many injuries that they are a mash unit which Greg failed to mention this.take the points off turnovers away and it’s a 28-17 game. Yes it was a dominant performance but not against a top level team in the SEC.im surprised he went with this one instead of a game like Bama LSU. LSU was pretty much at full,strength and was a home game for them. We’ll see how dominant Texas looks these last two games with Kentucky and Texas AM.
