If Quinn Ewers misses time extended time due to his latest injury, the Texas Longhorns have the answer with Arch Manning.
AUSTIN -- Many teams across college football are dealing with quarterback injuries, but no program has a backup quite likewent down in the second quarter and never returned in Saturday's home game against UTSA due to what Steve Sarkisian called an abdominal strain. But once Manning entered and tossed a 19-yard touchdown to DeAndre Moore Jr. on his first pass attempt of the game, the big-name prodigy never looked back.
Third-string true freshman quarterback Trey Owens replaced him early in the fourth quarter with the game already in hand, but at that point, Manning had already put together a memorable stat line. Early on his evening, Manning took some hard hits in the pocket on broken down protection by the o-line, but stayed steady, connecting with Isaiah Bond on a catch-and-run 51-yard touchdown near the start of the third quarter before finding Ryan Wingo wide open behind the defense on a 75-yard score the very next possession.
"It helps when you have great players around you and good coaches," Manning said. "So I mean, Isaiah bond, Ryan Wingo, the o-line, they all play really well, and they make it a little bit easier for me. ... I get more reps with Wingo at practice, and he's the man. What a good guy. I mean, he's going to catch a lot of touchdowns here. The sky's the limit for him."
