As Texas faces off against Ohio State, the spotlight is firmly on Quinn Ewers, and it’s not for the reasons Longhorns fans would hope. Through three drives, Ewers has found himself in hot water, taking two significant sacks and narrowly avoiding a fumble disaster. With the season hanging in the balance, there’s a sense of urgency to chart a new course.
Ewers’ season has been a rollercoaster, with notable struggles casting a shadow over his potential. Over the last four games, he’s thrown six touchdowns but also five interceptions, a ratio that’s sparked conversations about an unexpected regression in his development. With pressure mounting, Head Coach Steve Sarkisian knows the stakes. Facing an undeniably fast and relentless Ohio State front seven, the idea of leveraging Arch Manning’s speed seems increasingly enticing. Manning’s mobility could be the key to navigating the defensive storm and reigniting Texas’ season ambitions.
