Congratulations: Steve Sarkisian New Door Opens as he and his wife welcome baby bouncing twin…….
s Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian revealed on Thursday that starting quarterback Quinn Ewers will have a chance to start this Saturday vs. Mississippi State.
Ewers has been out since the second quarter of the Longhorns 56-7 Week 3 win over UTSA with an abdominal strain, leading to Arch Manning getting the start last Saturday vs. ULM.
And while the consensus was that Ewers would likely rest and heal until the Horns’ trip to Dallas to take on the Oklahoma Sooners On October 12, according to Sarkisian, it has been rapidly improving.
“He’s improved every day,” Sarkisian said. “It won’t be a secret. We’re not trying to pull the wool over anybody’s eyes. We just want to give Quinn every opportunity to see if he’s ready to play and what he looks like.”
Before the injury, Ewers was playing at a Heisman-caliber level, completing 73.4 percent of his passes for 691 yards and eight touchdowns with two interceptions over nine quarters of football.
