Texas Longhorns Top NIL Earner Shines in First Extended Game Action

Ezra Jorgensen  |  Sep 16, 2024

Any time that a team loses their starting quarterback, there’s a worry that a dip in production will be coming offensively, but not everyone has a highly touted backup as the Texas Longhorns do.

When Heisman Trophy candidate Quinn Ewers went down with an injury on Saturday in the second quarter, exiting with an oblique strain, there was some rightful concern about how this offense might look.

Before the injury, he completed 14-of-16 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns with one interception.

With him out of the game, Arch Manning was called upon for his first extended action in college.

That would have never have been known based on how he performed.
