Arch Manning set for first collegiate start against Louisiana-Monroe
On Thursday, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said that redshirt freshman quarterback Arch Manning will get his first college career start against Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday. Manning will play instead of junior quarterback Quinn Ewers, who suffered an oblique strain against UTSA last week.
“Getting him [Quinn Ewers] possibly one more week healthier for the long term, I think, (will be) good for us,” Sarkisian said.
In Texas' season opener against Colorado State, Manning completed 5-of-6 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown. He received praise from Sarkisian after his impressive outing.
“Arch (Manning) is more than capable, as I think we all know,” Sarkisian said. “He’s got a lot of confidence from his teammates.”
Texas, now ranked No. 1 in the latest AP Poll for the first time since 2008, is a 44.5-point favorite against Louisiana-Monroe. The kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
