The Texas Longhorns' first loss of the current NCAAF season highlighted Steve Sarkisian's decision to bench Quinn Ewers for a couple of snaps. Former QB Johnny Manziel opened up about this situation.

When nothing was going right for the Longhorns in the first half against Georiga, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian went to his bullpen. Sark took starting QB Quinn Ewers out of the game and inserted Arch Manning.

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.
