Quinn Ewers Injured, Arch Manning Shines

Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers exited the game against UTSA with a strained abdomen, leading redshirt freshman Arch Manning to take over. Manning impressed immediately, throwing a 19-yard touchdown on his first play and rushing for a 67-yard touchdown in his second drive, marking the longest run by a Texas QB since Vince Young in 2005. Manning finished the game with 223 passing yards, four touchdown passes, and 53 rushing yards, showcasing his dual-threat capability. Ewers' injury is not expected to be season-ending, but his return timeline is unclear. The Longhorns will likely continue with Manning if Ewers remains sidelined, but Ewers is expected to reclaim his starting role once healthy.
