In his weekly conference with reporters, Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian said that quarterback Quinn Ewers is questionable with the oblique strain he suffered in a 56-7 win over UTSA at Darrell K Royal-Memorial Stadium. More will be known after Texas releases its injury report on Wednesday.

"Quinn practiced today," Sarkisian said. "I would say if, again, if I had to put a report out, he'd be questionable for Saturday.

"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, so on and so forth."
