Overview

• Injured Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has resumed practice and his status is upgraded to 'day to day' due to a shoulder sprain that caused him to miss the last two games.
• Backup quarterback Maalik Murphy led the team to victory in the last two games, but his performance has been marked by interceptions and near-picks.
• Coach Steve Sarkisian acknowledges the need to work with Murphy on knowing when to throw the ball away rather than risking interceptions.
• Ewers' return is crucial as Texas' championship hopes depend on winning their upcoming games against TCU, Iowa State, and Texas Tech.
• The Longhorns could potentially bring in third-string quarterback Arch Manning, a highly-touted freshman, if Ewers' recovery takes longer than expected.
