Texas's Steve Sarkisian provides update on Quinn Ewers ahead of Clemson game
On Friday coach Steve Sarkisian provided an update on the health status of quarterback Quinn Ewers ahead of their CFP matchup on Saturday.
Here's what he said on "The Paul Finebaum Show":
"I think Quinn’s a heck of a player. You know, it’s been, I think, a difficult year for him, having the oblique injury early in the season,” Steve Sarkisian said. “He was playing great before that. Coming back from that and getting back to playing the way he’s capable of playing. Getting the ankle sprain, fighting through it.
“And I think there’s something to be said when your starting quarterback shows that toughness and that resiliency and that fighting through when it’s not always easy. … And what that means to his team. So I think it means a ton to our players knowing what Quinn’s been fighting through. He’s healthier today than he’s been in probably over a month," he added.
Ewers has suffered from injuries all season long, even missing a couple of weeks early in the year. Having a star backup like Arch Manning has only added to the pressure, but it seems that fans can expect to see Ewers under center on Saturday.
