When Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers put on a masterclass performance, dismantling Florida with five touchdown passes, it seemed like just another highlight in the Longhorns' season.

Former Florida Gators/South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier was hoping to meet actor Matthew McConaughey in Austin this past weekend, but he had to settle for meeting Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning instead.

While many fans are clamoring for Manning, his predecessor added to a historic streak he has been on. Ewers has officially thrown for a touchdown in 20 straight games, which is second in program history behind Colt McCoy, who went 29 games with a touchdown pass.

THIS is the reason why Arch Manning is STAYING at Texas despite being a backup up Quinn Ewers! Watch as this talented girl takes on the amazing restoration of a welding machine at home. In this video,

Arch Manning was rated one of the best quarterback recruits of all-time as a high schooler. Why hasn't he appeared for Texas football yet?

Texas started Ewers in the third quarter. The 21-year-old junior helped the Longhorns go up 42-0 before head coach Steve Sarkisian decided to put Manning in with 7:03 left in the third quarter. Ewers finished the game 19-of-27 passing for 333 yards and five touchdowns.

The Longhorns got outclassed on national television against Georgia, then went into their bye week fresh off eking out a win on the road against Vanderbilt (understandable this season, but still not the best optics).

Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers threw five touchdown passes and had a relatively easy day in a blowout win over Florida. Ewers played so well, coach Steve Sarkisian pulled his starter in the third quarter and inserted backup Arch Manning.
