If there's any uncertainty surrounding Quinn Ewers' health, Texas should turn to Arch Manning for their SEC opener against Mississippi State. Ewers, currently listed as "questionable" due to an oblique strain, could risk further injury if rushed back too soon. Manning, with his experience stepping in during Week 3 against UTSA, demonstrated immense potential, completing 9 of 12 passes for 223 yards and four touchdowns. He also showcased his athleticism with a 67-yard touchdown run, reaching an impressive top speed of 20.7 miles per hour.
While Manning's first start against ULM showed areas for improvement—completing 15 of 29 passes with two interceptions—he also displayed flashes of elite talent, particularly his arm strength and accuracy. With another week of preparation, playing Manning now could offer him valuable experience while giving Ewers additional time to fully recover. A fully healthy Ewers would be crucial for the Longhorns' upcoming matchup against Oklahoma, a game that carries significant conference and rivalry stakes.
Starting Manning against Mississippi State not only mitigates the risk of further injury to Ewers but also gives Texas the chance to develop its star freshman quarterback in a crucial SEC game.
