AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — An injury to Quinn Ewers raised the curtain to the Arch Manning show at Texas.
The kid from one of the most famous families in football delivered an immediate hit.
Manning passed for four touchdowns and ran 67 yards for another score after taking over for Ewers in the second quarter, leading the No. 2 Longhorns to a 56-7 win over UTSA on Saturday night.
Texas (3-0) led 14-0 when Ewers left with what coach Steve Sarkisian called strained abdominal muscles. Manning threw a 19-yard touchdown to DeAndre Moore on his first play, then broke off the long sprint for another touchdown on Texas' next possession, as several UTSA (1-2) defenders chased him.
