It looks like Quinn Ewers will miss his second straight start for the Texas Longhorns. According to Pete Thamel of ESPN, the Texas coaching staff is expected to sit the junior QB to assure he is fully healthy for the Oklahoma game on Oct. 12.
Thamel said the final decision will come before the final injury report, which is released 90 minutes before kickoff. But the decision is trending toward allowing Ewers to use the coming bye week to get fully healthy. By skipping Hail State, Ewers gets another full two weeks to heal.
According to Thamel’s sources, Ewers finished the week at nearly 70%. He practiced Tuesday, was limited Wednesday and ended up limited in practice on Thursday to allow him to heal.

Against the Bulldogs, Arch Manning will get his second career start. Manning started last week against UL Monroe. Manning had a few bumpy moments, but he did more than enough to help Texas get an easy win. Manning went 15 of 29 for 258 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
