Quinn Ewers remains questionable for No. 1 Texas' SEC debut against Mississippi State as he recovers from an oblique strain, coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday. «He's got to do enough to show me he can play,» Sarkisian said. "… Can he execute the game plan?

I kind of need to see how he responds from today's work, and then what it looks like on a Tuesday, then a Wednesday, which are pretty heavy days for him, and then how he rebounds on Thursday. «It's going to be kind of a work in progress.

But today was a good start.» Sarkisian said he was encouraged by the performance from backup Arch Manning, who made his first career start in the Longhorns' 51-3 victory against UL Monroe on Saturday night.

Manning completed 15 of 29 passes for 258 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, including one on his first possession. «I've seen a lot of young quarterbacks have a rough start, and then that rough start turns into a rough game,» Sarkisian said about the turnovers. «It was a little bit of a rough start for him, but I thought he rebounded and did some nice things for us.» Sarkisian took partial responsibility for a game plan that featured a lot of deep shots, knowing Manning loves to throw them. «Arch is a really good deep-ball thrower, and it gives guys chances to go make plays on those shots down the field,» Sarkisian said. «With a young quarterback, I'm kind of kicking myself a little.
