A Texas football veteran makes a definitive judgment between quarterbacks Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning. Both quarterbacks have shown tremendous potential for the undefeated Texas Longhorns (3-0), but only one can take the majority of the playing time. Manning will take over as starting quarterback on Saturday after Ewers is sidelined due to injury.
Despite Manning’s chance to shine, head coach Steve Sarkisian has emphasized that Ewers will continue to start. Todd Dodge, a Texas football legend and former Longhorns quarterback, recently gave his thoughts on the quarterback controversy. Dodge spoke with ESPN ahead of “College GameDay” Week 4 about who he believes should lead the team moving forward. Dodge, a legendary figure in Texas high school football, went on to have a successful five-year career at the University of Texas, including a stellar season in 1984.
Dodge’s thoughts are highly valued in Austin’s football world, and his insights are regularly monitored. Nonetheless, many believe that replacing Ewers after his outstanding performance prior to his accident would be a difficult option. Manning is now responsible for maintaining the team’s momentum through a difficult upcoming schedule, thus the pressure is on to perform.
