There has never been a real 'QB competition' between Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning for the Texas Longhorns.
Still, Ewers - who is fresh off of leading his team to the College Football Playoffs - still faces questions and criticisms from outside sources as to whether or not he is the Horns' best option, or whether coach Steve Sarkisian should go withYes, there is still somehow a debate for some about whether the battle-tested Ewers or the unproven and inexperienced Manning should start for a national championship-contending team.
Ewers has backed up that status as a leader as well. Ewers, proved time and time again last year that he was capable of performing at a big-time level. He beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa. He led the Horns to tough wins against TCU and Iowa State, as well as leading the Horns to a Big 12 title with a record-setting performance., it is very possible that Ewers takes another meteoric jump, much like he did from Year 1 to Year 2.
As such, Klatt believes that, despite the immense talent for Manning, the idea of a 'QB competition' in Austin was always an overblown narrative."I think that there is an overblown perception of how close the quarterback battle is. That doesn’t mean Arch isn’t good because he is, and there’s a good chance that, at some point, he’s going to have to play. Ewers has been hurt in his career, they’re going to blow some people out...
We will get our first good look at the 2024 version of Ewers - and presumably Manning as well - on August 31 in Austin, when the Longhorns season kicks off against Colorado State.Matt Galatzan is the Publisher of LonghornsCountry.com, AllAggies.com, and the Managing Editor of BuckeyesNow.com and TheGroveReport.com He is also the Editor-In-Chief of RamDigest.com and TexansDaily.com.
