Quinn Ewers - Not expected to face Mississippi State Ewers (abdomen) is not expected to return for Texas as they face off against Mississippi State on Saturday, Pete Thamel of ESPN.com reports. Impact Ewers is "nearly 70-percent" and the Longhorns' coaching staff has stated that it is their priority to ensure that he is able to appear against Oklahoma in Week 7. The 6-foot-2 junior came into the season a Heisman Trophy candidate and looked incredible through his first three outings, throwing for 691 yards (58-of-79), eight touchdowns and two interceptions. With Texas off next week and a rivalry matchup against the Sooners looming in Week 7, it appears likely that Arch Manning will continue to start for the Longhorns this week.
