Quinn Ewers had a rough first half against Georgia. The Heisman contender was 6-of-12 for 17 yards with an interception and lost fumble on Saturday.
Down 20-0, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian made the call. He benched Ewers and sent in heralded redshirt freshman Arch Manning.
Manning’s first drive would have been a three-and-out but Georgia was flagged for a penalty on third down.
The drive ended without another first down.
Sarkisian had said Texas was Ewers’ team and the only way he would come out would be due to injury.
That changed when the top-ranked Longhorns fell into a deep hole against the fifth-ranked Dawgs.
