While both Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning have shown great promise as collegiate quarterbacks for the Texas Longhorns (3-0), only one can take the majority of snaps. With Ewers sidelined due to injury, Manning is set to make his college debut as a starter this Saturday.
Despite Manning’s opportunity, it remains Ewers’ job to lose, as head coach Steve Sarkisian has made clear. Texas legend and former star quarterback Todd Dodge shared his insights on the situation, expressing his thoughts on who he believes should be the starting quarterback.
Ahead of ” College GameDay ” Week 4, ESPN conducted interviews to break down the key storylines and received Dodge’s prominent opinion on the matter.
“Gosh, all of us Texas fans are fired up about what Arch did the other day,” Dodge said. “But in the big picture, there’s a reason why Quinn Ewers is the starter. When you start having to face Georgia and people like that, well, it doesn’t mean that Arch Manning can’t have a bang-up game against a Georgia or an Alabama. It’s just that Quinn Ewers has already done it.”
