Manning Steps Up: Longhorns Keep Rolling With Backup QB

Texas LonghornsArch ManningCollege FootballQuinn Ewers

Arch Manning dazzled in his first start as a Longhorn**, leading Texas to a 56-7 victory over UTSA.

In the second quarter, Quinn Ewers went down with an abdominal injury, prompting Manning to take over.

Manning, the nephew of NFL greats Peyton and Eli Manning, threw for 223 yards and four touchdowns, and even showcased his wheels with a 67-yard run.

Coach Steve Sarkisian praised Manning's performance, saying, "It’s hard when you have a backup who doesn’t have a ton of experience. Arch was our third guy last year. There’s nothing like being in the game. Playing in front of 105,000 people is not the easiest thing to do. I’m really proud of Arch."
