Ewers got off to a slow start against the Bulldogs and for the second consecutive week did not look like himself. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian made the shocking decision to bench Ewers toward the end of the first half, where the Longhorns trailed the Bulldogs 20-0 at the time, to see if Manning could provide the team a spark to get going.

Steve Sarkisian made it very clear that Quinn Ewers was not to blame for the Texas Longhorns loss to the Georgia Bulldogs.

In the four-team College Football Playoff era, this would have been a devastating loss. Now that the CFP is at 12 teams, though, Texas still has more than a fair shot to make the CFP and win it all.
