AUSTIN, Texas – With No. 1 Texas battling No. 5 Georgia at home, coach Steve Sarkisian briefly substituted quarterback Quinn Ewers for Arch Manning before switching him again early in the second half.

Manning entered the game trailing 20-0 with 4:43 left in the first half. His first drive ended with a punt and his second ended with him fumbling the ball on a pass attempt, setting up a Georgia field goal that made it 23-0 at the end of the first half.

Ewers struggled with Georgia's pass rush. He was pressured on six of his 16 dropbacks, going 0-for-2 and recording three sacks on those plays. Overall, Ewers completed 6 of 12 passes for 17 yards and one interception while on the bench.

Ewers performed much better early in the second half, leading Texas with a 55-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard touchdown toss to Isaiah Bond, followed by a successful two-pointer to make it 23-8 .

He threw another touchdown late in the third quarter, but Georgia responded with a touchdown of its own on the next drive, making the score 30-15, and Texas never threatened again.

Ewers completed 25 of 43 passes for 189 yards.
