The Texas Longhorns‘ loss to the Georgia Bulldogs not only marked their first defeat of the NCAAF season but also raised several questions about who will be the starting QB following Quinn Ewers‘ performance. In light of this situation, HC Steve Sarkisian addressed whether he will continue with Ewers or opt for Arch Manning.
The defeat was expected if we consider the performance throughout the game. With Quinn Ewers not appearing to be at full physical strength, the Bulldogs managed to keep their opponent scoreless in the first half.
Ewers wasn’t having his best game, which led the coach to bring Arch Manning onto the field for the final two drives of the first half. Nevertheless, after the game, the coach stated that Quinn Ewers would remain the starting QB.
Journalist CJ Vogel shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account @CJVogel_ATF the coach’s firm statement following the game: “Quinn is our starting quarterback.”
Ewers major admission after loss against Bulldogs
The loss was painful, yes. However, the Longhorns know they didn’t play their best game and conducted a strong self-critique behind closed doors after the 30-15 defeat.
One of the key voices for a strong analysis of the game against Georgia was none other than the coach himself, who, after the game, made a major admission about the loss.
“We didn’t start obviously the way we want it to,” QB stated. “We definitely did not play our game today.”
