The Texas Longhorns, undefeated at 5-0, are poised for a significant boost as quarterback Quinn Ewers is expected to return as the starter against Oklahoma, barring any setbacks. Ewers missed the last two games due to an abdominal/oblique injury, with Arch Manning filling in admirably.
According to a source close to the situation, Ewers’ progress has been remarkable, alleviating concerns about his availability for the critical upcoming games against Oklahoma and Georgia. This development comes as welcome news for Head Coach Steve Sarkisian, who acknowledged the challenges ahead.
Sarkisian expressed optimism about Ewers’ recovery on Monday, citing significant progress. The return of their stalwart quarterback will undoubtedly bolster the Longhorns’ chances against formidable opponents. With Ewers back under center, Texas can focus on navigating the tough road ahead.
The Longhorns’ bye week provides a timely opportunity for Ewers to continue his rehabilitation. As Texas prepares for the Oklahoma Sooners and Georgia Bulldogs in consecutive weeks, Ewers’ return will be crucial. Sarkisian’s squad can now approach these pivotal matchups with renewed confidence, knowing their leader is poised to guide them through the rugged stretch ahead.
