With the Longhorns up 14-0 with 12:19 remaining in the second quarter, Ewers began to limp off the court after a handoff before dropping to a knee and stopping the play. Arch Manning, a redshirt freshman, has taken Ewers’ place in the Texas huddle.

On his first play, Manning faked a handoff and threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore Jr. to give Texas a 21-0 lead. On his second possession, Manning ran for a 67-yard score to put the Longhorns up 28-7 before halftime.

After Manning’s touchdown run, Ewers left the field with a towel over his head and went to the Texas locker room. Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian told the ESPN broadcast that Ewers has a tense abdomen. He will not return.

Ewers entered the game as one of the favorites for the Heisman after leading Texas past Michigan last week. He had thrown for 506 yards and six touchdowns in the first two games and then added two more touchdown passes before leaving the game Saturday.
