Arch Manning put on a showcase on Saturday night vs. UTSA, but the Longhorns will need their leader Quinn Ewers before too long.
Manning finished the game completing 9 of his 12 passes for 223 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for another 67-yard score.
There is no doubt that what Manning did on Saturday night was incredible, and he earned the title of the top backup quarterback in the nation.And going forward into SEC, the battled tested experience of Ewers will be invaluable. But against UTSA, there were a few signs of inexperience from Manning that, once the Longhorns get to SEC play, would have made a much bigger difference.
The same holds true on a zone-read play in which Manning made the wrong choice and held onto the ball, resulting in a loss in the backfield.But in the meat of SEC play, against Georgia or Oklahoma's defensive fronts, that type of thing could turn into a disaster.Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers throws a pass in the first quarter of the Longhorns' game against the UTSA Roadrunners at Darrell K RoyalÐTexas Memorial Stadium, Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024.
