Even with starter Quinn Ewers sidelined due to injury, backup quarterback Arch Manning shone brightly, leading Texas to a convincing victory over UTSA. Manning's impressive performance solidified Texas' position as one of the top teams in the country.
No. 1 Texas' 56-7 win over UTSA might be one of the more intriguing blowout wins by a power conference school against a non-power program in recent memory. A week after becoming the favorite to win the Heisman, Quinn Ewers went down in the second quarter due to an abdominal strain. Even with Ewers' absence, Saturday's result was really never in doubt. Entering the season, I felt Texas was incredibly deep, which was one of the reasons why I felt it was such an elite team.
Saturday not only solidified that Texas is deep and will be just fine if Ewers misses significant time, but it also might have created the argument that Manning is the most talented quarterback in Austin. Ewers clearly has the experience edge over Manning, but you could argue that Texas might not miss a beat without its starting quarterback — one who I believe will be a Heisman finalist later this season. What we saw from Manning was great, particularly his 67-yard touchdown run.
