Quinn Ewers remains Texas' starting quarterback. It's been an up-and-down year for Ewers, who started strong but missed two games with an oblique injury and then was briefly sent to the bench in favor of Manning in a loss to Georgia.

Of course, if football has taught us anything by now, it's that things are never as simple as the backup quarterback makes them appear. It turns out Ewers had heard all the chatter in the off week, and he delivered his response on the field in emphatic fashion against Florida on Saturday.
