Following an injury sustained during the Texas Longhorns’ 56-7 victory over UTSA last week, quarterback Quinn Ewers will miss at least one game.
Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian revealed on Thursday that Arch Manning will start the team’s game against Louisiana Monroe on Saturday. This will be Manning’s first experience playing NCAA football.
Manning played extremely well against UL Monroe after Ewers left the game with an oblique/abdomen injury.

The redshirt freshman went 9/12 for 223 yards, 4 touchdowns and no interceptions. Manning also had a beautiful touchdown run. Ewers is viewed as week-to-week with his injury, so he might only miss one game. If Manning can build off his performance from last week, there will be no need for Texas to rush Ewers back. Texas is 3-0 on the season. While Ewers is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation and a Heisman Trophy candidate, Longhorns fans will be excited for Manning to make his first start.
