UT Twitter accounts have already anointed Manning as the #1 draft pick now and forgot who Ewers is.
Another parallel between scUM and ut
Who cares, they're only looking at the last name(which I'm sure you already knew)
Especially for someone prone to injury like Ewers. He was the Heisman favorite this time last week, and now one wonders if he'll even start the rest of the season.
Fans are fans. Buckeye fans called for Brown to be QB before and after Day made his choice. If they hadn't scored on that final drive in South Bend there would have been a ton of fans calling for Brown to start the next game. I don't think anyone would have beat out Ewers if he had been available to the Buckeyes last year.
I think that's a little bit of a stretch. Buckeye fans calling for Brown, or even McCord a year prior to start was never going to be the fever pitch that it is having a Manning as your backup QB. Only comparison I can see to this in sports, its having Bronny on the USC team. They're name creates a hype that is bigger than the team. I can guarantee you that there are tons of Manning jerseys in DKR stadium on Saturdays, the only people wearing Brown jerseys is his family
I doubt it. I distinctly remember being told that tejas fans are far too sophisticated and worldly as to wear jerseys.

And this proves my point! There wasn’t an analyst outside of Buckeye beat writers who knew even who Brown and McCord were. Ewers better get healthy quick and hope Sark doesn't let the fans and boosters dictate his starter because he could have a QB controversy Mid season and derail the whole season...
