The Texas Longhorns led the Florida Gators at halftime in Austin.
Ewers finished the first half 17 of 25 passing for 297 yards and the four scores. His first two scores came on wide-open completions to Matthew Golden and Gunnar Helm, who were both able to waltz into the end zone.
Ewers led an opening drive that appeared to be surgical right up until the Longhorns got outside the red zone. A seven-yard loss on a carry from Wisner set Texas back before Ewers was sacled on the next play. Bert Auburn then missed a 51-yard field goal wide to the right. Florida appeared ready to go three-and-out on the ensuing drive before Ja'Kobi Jackson fumbled at the Gators 23-yard line. Texas edge Trey Moore recovered and set the Longhorns up in prime position. Two plays later, Ewers found Helm open for a 22-yard touchdown to build the lead to 14-0.
Both sides punted once again. Once Texas got the ball back, Ewers found Wisner for a 50-yard catch-and-run touchdown on the first play of the drive to extend the lead to 21-0 with 6:04 to play in the second quarter.
