Longhorns to Decide Starting QB for SEC Debut Against Mississippi State

Coach Steve Sarkisian will announce whether Quinn Ewers or Arch Manning will start, following Ewers' recovery from an oblique strain.

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian has delayed the decision on the starting quarterback until Friday to give Quinn Ewers maximum recovery time.
Ewers, the Longhorns' three-year starter, suffered an oblique strain in Week 3 and has been practicing in a limited capacity this week.
Arch Manning, who started last weekend's game against Louisiana-Monroe, led the Longhorns to a 51-3 victory with 258 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
Mississippi State will start true freshman Michael Van Buren Jr. after their starting quarterback, Blake Shapen, was ruled out for the season with a shoulder injury.
The game marks Texas' first-ever Southeastern Conference matchup, adding significance to the quarterback decision as they aim to maintain their No. 1 ranking.
