Texas looks as talented at quarterback as we all think it is and while Quinn Ewers didn’t take his offense to a score on either of his first two series and Arch Manning looked like uncle Peyton Manning, it was such a small sample size that little should be read into it.

Ewers is the man, but Manning’s performance should give him and Longhorn Nation faith that the offense shouldn’t drop off if Ewers gets hurt.

The Longhorns have playmakers at wide receiver galore. The defense had a couple of nice takeaways, none bigger than Alfred Collins’ pick-six from 32 yards on a Ewers pass that was deflected by defensive end Ethan Burke.

The big concern was the failure to make any kind of dent in the running game. The offensive line got little push, and the defense usually made the tackles in the backfield.

That shouldn’t diminish any enthusiasm in the running backs because Texas is loaded there with CJ Baxter and Jaydon Blue, who had a nifty catch on a crossing route for a 29-yard touchdown from Arch Manning. Quintrevion Wisner has drawn Steve Sarkisian’s praise all spring and showed some burst Saturday.
