Texas QB Quinn Ewers exits with injury. Arch Manning steps in against Texas-San Antonio
View Date:2024-12-23 14:32:56
No. 3 Texas lost starting quarterback Quinn Ewers early in its game against Texas-San Antonio.
With the Longhorns up 14-0 with 12:19 left in the second quarter, Ewers started to limp off the field after a handoff before he took a knee and play stopped. Arch Manning, a redshirt freshman, has taken the place of Ewers in the Texas huddle.
On his first play, Manning faked a handoff and threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore Jr. to give Texas a 21-0 lead. On his second possession, Manning ran for a 67-yard score to put the Longhorns up 28-7 before halftime.
After the touchdown run by Manning, Ewers left the field with a towel over head and went to the Texas locker room. Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian told the ESPN broadcast that Ewers has a strained abdomen. He will not return.
Ewers entered the game as one of the Heisman favorites after leading Texas past Michigan last week. He had thrown for 506 yards and six touchdowns in the first two games and then added two more touchdowns passes before exiting the game Saturday.
This is the second appearance of the season for Manning, who was a five-star signee in the 2023 recruiting cycle. Manning played in the second half of the Colorado State game on Aug. 31, and he accounted for two touchdowns in that 52-0 win.
