With Ewers sidelined, Manning to start for No. 1 Texas against ULM

Associated Press  

AUSTIN, Texas — Arch Manning is getting his starting moment for No. The second-year freshman, who has dazzled the Longhorns in two appearances off the bench, will get his first career start Saturday night for Texas against Louisiana-Monroe as regular starter Quinn Ewers continues to recover from a strained muscle in his abdomen. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said Thursday he wanted to get Ewers at least one more week’s rest before Texas starts SEC play Sept. 28 against Mississippi State. I think he needs to focus on knowing what he’s supposed to do and do it at a high level.” Manning has been nothing short of magical in his first two appearances this season. Texas also scored its first defensive touchdown of the season against UTSA with defensive end Ethan Burke’s 30-yard interception return.
