Texas benches Quinn Ewers for Arch Manning in mid-game move

Steve Sarkisian wasn't doing anything Saturday night.

At least for a short period of time.

After a dismal start from quarterback Quinn Ewers, No. 1 Texas handed over the reins to Arch Manning in the second quarter against No. 5 Georgia.

Ewers, who is likely to be a top-five pick in April's draft, had a rough start against the Bulldogs, completing 6 of 12 passes for just 17 yards with one interception and one fumble. I stayed there.

Texas brought on Manning with less than five minutes left in the first half. Manning started this season in Ewers' place because the starting pitcher was suffering from an oblique muscle strain.

Manning completed 1 of 4 passes for 8 yards on his first drive against Georgia.

However, by the start of the second half, Texas recovered the onside kick and Ewers returned to under center.
