When Texas Longhorns play Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry on October 12, star quarterback Quinn Ewers is anticipated to make a comeback to the starting lineup, taking the place of backup quarterback Arch Manning, according to a report from Anwar Richardson of OrangeBloods.
“Quinn is taking on Oklahoma in this game. He won’t miss this game or the remainder of the campaign. He hopes to win both a natty and the SEC,” a source informed Richardson.
Ewers, who has completed 58 of his 79 pass attempts this season for 691 yards and eight touchdowns to two interceptions. He strained an abdominal muscle during the Longhorns’ 569-7 win against UTSA in Week 3, and has not played since.
In Ewers’s absence, Manning has completed 55 of his 78 passes for 901 yards and nine touchdowns to two interceptions.
The No. 2 Longhorns are idle this Saturday, providing a two-week ramp up for Ewers to get ready for the program’s annual marquee rivalry matchup against the Sooners.
