Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is on track to return from an abdominal strain for the October 12 rivalry game against Oklahoma
Ewers suffered the injury during the Longhorns’ 56-7 win over UTSA in Week 3 and has missed the last two games.
According to Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, Ewers has been making steady progress in his recovery, with no setbacks reported
This is great news for the Longhorns, as Ewers was playing at a Heisman-caliber level before the injury, completing 73.4% of his passes for 691 yards and eight touchdowns with two interceptions
In Ewers’ absence, Arch Manning has stepped up and led the team to wins against UL Monroe and Mississippi State
Manning’s performance has been impressive, and coach Sarkisian has praised his ability to carry the load ². However, with Ewers’ expected return, the Longhorns will regain their team leader and starting quarterback.
The upcoming game against Oklahoma is crucial, and having Ewers back under center will be a significant boost for the Longhorns
Texas is currently ranked No. 2 in the country and is entering the Red River Rivalry as 14.5-point favorites over Oklahoma
