Texas Longhorns' head coach Steve Sarkisian's decision to bench starting quarterback Quinn Ewers in favor of backup Arch Manning during a 30-15 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs has sparked significant debate. Ewers struggled in the first half, completing only 6 of 12 passes for 17 yards, leading Sarkisian to allow Manning to step in briefly. Manning's performance did not improve the situation, managing 19 yards on 3 of 6 passing attempts before Ewers returned for the second half. Former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel criticized the move as 'weird', questioning the logic behind it given Sarkisian's prior commitment to Ewers as the starter. Sarkisian defended his choice as a way for Ewers to regroup, but the decision has raised eyebrows and created speculation about the quarterback's future. Despite the loss, Texas remains in contention for the College Football Playoff, and Sarkisian's next moves will be closely watched.
