Steve Sarkisian made right decision to rotate Quinn Ewers, Arch Manning

Late in the second quarter with his Texas Longhorns trailing 20-0 at home to Georgia, Steve Sarkisian turned to backup quarterback Arch Manning to provide the team with a “spark” before halftime. Starting quarterback Quinn Ewers completed his first four passes before finishing the first half 1 of 7. Overall, he was 6 of 12 for 17 yards and an interception when Manning subbed in. 

Turns out that Ewers wasn’t the only problem. The Georgia pass rush, which accounted for seven sacks and 10 tackles for loss in the 30-15 win, was hunting no matter which former five-star quarterback was engineering the team in burnt orange. Manning was 3 of 6 for 19 yards and a lost fumble in his two drives before half. Ewers was inserted back into the starting lineup to start the third quarter.
