Texas quarterback Quinn Ewerslooks to throw a pass during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Houston, Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023, in Houston. AUSTIN, Texas — With Quinn Ewers in front of him and hotshot freshman Arch Manning closing from behind, Maalik Murphy could have easily bolted from Texas for somewhere else to play quarterback.Murphy chose instead to stay in Austin and wait for a chance like he is getting Saturday.
Texas fans saw that in the spring game. Manning, an early enrollee, got a big cheer when he took the field. But it was Murphy who got everyone’s attention by going 9-of-13 passing for 165 yards and a touchdown.Murphy has played in four games this season, mostly in mop-up duty. He took over the offense in the third quarter against Houston after Ewers was hurt. Murphy threw only two passes, but directed the game-winning touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.
Manning, the nephew of former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, has not played this season. He will also get snaps with the first team in practice and will have to be ready to play if called upon, Sarkisian said. BYU will face an opponent’s backup quarterback for the third consecutive week in the Cougars’ first season in the Big 12. Texas leaves for the Southeastern Conference next season.
