The same Quinn Ewers that went to Michigan the week before and dominated. The same quarterback that engineered a playoff run last year. Now, because Arch took off and ran for a 65-yard touchdown, he’s the answer.”

While Manning looked great in relief of Ewers, McElroy still believed the program should go with the more experienced player. Ewers had 185 yards passing, two touchdowns, and one interception before exiting the game with an injury. “I looked at it, and I thought Arch was fantastic,” McElroy said. “Had a couple of touchdown passes. The numbers were outrageous. …He’s also filling in for a guy that was 14 of 16 for 185 yards and two touchdowns before he got hurt. …I love Arch Manning, and he’s going to be an amazing player, but his time will come. It’s Quinn Ewers’ team for now.”

With Week 4 approaching, Steve Sarkisian has a big decision to make. Texas kicks off against UL Monroe on Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. ET on SEC Network+ and ESPN+.
