In a dominant season opener, Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for 260 yards and three touchdowns, leading the team to a 52-0 victory over Colorado State. Ewers connected with new transfers Matthew Golden and Isaiah Bond, contributing to a commanding 31-0 lead by halftime. Arch Manning, entering in the third quarter, scored his first collegiate touchdown and added a rushing touchdown, showcasing his potential. Despite the hype surrounding Manning, former NFL quarterback Drew Brees advised him to remain at Texas for five years to fully develop under coach Steve Sarkisian. This strategy, according to Brees, would better prepare Manning for the NFL. Texas faces a more challenging opponent next week as they go up against No. 9 Michigan.
