Texas fans are eager to see Arch Manning play in the upcoming game against BYU. While he won't start, head coach Steve Sarkisian has hinted that Manning may get some playing time. This decision comes after starting quarterback Quinn Ewers' injury. Cooper Manning, Arch's uncle, believes that Arch still has room for improvement. There is also speculation about whether Texas will redshirt Manning or not. In the game against BYU, Texas relied on backup QBs with Ewers out, and the performance of Maalik Murphy, the current starter, is being closely watched. Texas had a strong start to the game, with Xavier Worthy returning a punt for a touchdown and Jonathon Brooks scoring a rushing touchdown. However, Manning has yet to make an appearance in the game.

Texas QB Maalik Murphy throws his first INT. RB Jonathon Brooks banged up on that play, too. He's being looked at by the medical staff.
That was a freshman mistake there by Maalik Murphy to throw that ball up under pressure.

Worthy's score was Texas' first punt return for a score since D'Shawn Jamison ran one back 90 yards at Kansas State in 20-18.
Xavier Worthy takes his first punt return 74 yards for a TD. Made one man miss and was untouched the rest of the way. 7-0 Texas | 12:08 in the first
Cornerback Ryan Watts was back for Texas, and the Horns forced a quick 3-and-out before X-man's return.

Excited to see Maalik Murphy for Texas tonight. He has some legit NFL talent and likely starts after a transfer next year (or plays so well that Arch Manning has to move on)

Malik Mustapha came to play I see
Texas doesn't have a great history vs. BYU and will rely on backup QBs with Quinn Ewers out. How will Maalik Murphy fare? Will we see Arch Manning? Can the Cougars hang behind Kedon Slovis in Austin? My preview, picks, and FREE prop plays at @sportingnews: https://t.co/a8ytKsjDXQ
Malik Mustapha has made himself some money with several NFL scouts here today.
Malik Mustapha saves at least a 40-yard gain.
