Arch Manning will make his first start at QB for No. 1 Texas on Saturday night against UL Monroe, with Quinn Ewers still recovering from an abdominal strain.
Arch Manning will make his first career start at quarterback for Texas on Saturday night against UL Monroe, coach Steve Sarkisian announced Thursday. Sarkisian said that Quinn Ewers, who suffered an abdominal strain in the Longhorns' 56-7 win over
last weekend, 'has made great strides' in his recovery, but Manning is 'more than capable' of filling in. 'He's got a lot of confidence from his teammates to go out there and play,' Sarkisian said. Manning, a redshirt freshman, came in for Ewers in the second quarter of last week's game and promptly scored a touchdown on his first snap.
evoked jokes that he didn't get his speed from his uncles, Peyton and Eli, but rather from his grandfather, Archie. Sarkisian told reporters Thursday that Ewers will wear an earpiece on the sideline and be fully engaged and supportive of Manning. He said third-string quarterback Trey Owens, who got playing time last week, will serve as the backup. Sarkisian also said that even though Ewers is out this week, all of his goals are still in place.
