Quinn Ewers questionable for Texas' SEC debut vs. Mississippi St.​

Quinn Ewers remains questionable for No. 1 Texas' SEC debut against Mississippi State as he recovers from an oblique strain, coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday.

"He's got to do enough to show me he can play," Sarkisian said. "Can he execute the game plan? I kind of need to see how he responds from today's work, and then what it looks like on a Tuesday, then a Wednesday, which are pretty heavy days for him, and then how he rebounds on Thursday.

"It's going to be kind of a work in progress. But today was a good start."

Texas QB Quinn Ewers Expected to Start Over Arch Manning Against Oklahoma​

Texas Longhorns star quarterback Quinn Ewers is expected to return to the starting lineup and replace backup Arch Manning when the program takes on Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry on Oct. 12, according to a report from Anwar Richardson of OrangeBloods.

"Quinn is playing against Oklahoma. No way he misses this game or the rest of the season. He wants to win the SEC and a natty," a source told Richardson.

Ewers, who has completed 58 of his 79 pass attempts this season for 691 yards and eight touchdowns to two interceptions. He strained an abdominal muscle during the Longhorns' 569-7 win against UTSA in Week 3, and has not played since.

In Ewers's absence, Manning has completed 55 of his 78 passes for 901 yards and nine touchdowns to two interceptions.

The No. 2 Longhorns are idle this Saturday, providing a two-week ramp up for Ewers to get ready for the program's annual marquee rivalry matchup against the Sooners.

To me, the fact that the above headline exists is the best proof ever that our culture has a disgusting, unhealthy obsession with celebrity. And for some reason, celebrity is more highly valued when the celebrity-to-accomplishment ratio is highest.

How on earth can this be the best proof ever when the goddamn Kardashians exist?

As I say so often, stats without context are worthless

The only Texas opponent that Manning did not play against was Michigan

The Texas opponents that Ewers missed were Louisiana Monroe and Mississippi State (the same Miss State that got murdered by Toledo)

And Ewers has not taken a snap in garbage time. Manning has had a fair few, and his garbage time numbers are much better, skewing his stats.

Finally, Ewers had a higher PE against Michigan than Manning had vs Louisiana Monroe

If Manning’s name were McGillicuddy, it would only be reported that Ewers was returning from injury. The story would not mention that he was starting, nor that the sky is blue. It would sure as hell not be a headline
