Arch Manning can lead Texas to title, but staying on bench will benefit him

foxnews.com

Arch Manning's dress rehearsal to be Texas' starting quarterback went about as well as anyone could've hoped after Quinn Ewers went down with an oblique injury.

The redshirt freshman completed 69.4% of his passes for 806 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions to go with 82 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns over Texas' last three games, starting with when he took over for the injured Ewers on Sept.

14 against UTSA. More importantly for the Longhorns, Ewers led Texas to decisive victories over the two starts he made, including its SEC opener against Mississippi State on Saturday.

Texas' offense hasn't missed a beat with Manning in at quarterback since Ewers' injury. It's scored a touchdown on 16 of the 29 drives that Manning's been in at quarterback over that stretch, helping Texas rank eighth in total offense and 11th in scoring offense this season.
