Steve Spurrier Throws Shade at Arch Manning, Elevates Quinn Ewers—What’s Really Behind the Quarterback Controversy?
Manning started his second and final game of the year the following week vs. Mississippi State in Texas’s SEC opener. He bounced back from the poor outing a week earlier, completing all but six of his 31 passes, threw for 325 yards and 2 touchdowns, and ran for 33 yards and a touchdown.
Once Ewers returned to action, he never relinquished the starting job despite that seeming precarious during the regular-season meeting with Georgia. Amid a terrible showing and facing a 20-0 first-half hole, Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian benched Ewers in favor of Manning. The decision drew massive attention, despite Manning similarly struggling and even fumbling away possession on a dropback.
