Top-ranked Texas will be starting Arch Manning at quarterback this Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe as regular starter Quinn Ewers continues to recover from a strained muscle in his abdomen, according to head coach Steve Sarkisian.
This will mark Manning's first career start as a second-year freshman. Manning stepped in for Ewers during the second quarter in the previous game against UTSA, where he showcased an impressive performance by throwing four touchdowns and adding another one through a rushing play in a dominant 56-7 victory for Texas.
