    Texas football star quarterback Quinn Ewers left the Longhorns’ game against UTSA on Saturday after pulling his abdomen in the first half. Ewers limped off the field and went into the medical tent after the game, later returning to the locker room.

    Ewers then reappeared without his uniform in regular clothes, which probably ended his day.

    Ewers, a third-year quarterback, was replaced by star player Arch Manning, who immediately threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore Jr.

Before he left, Ewers was an efficient 14-of-16 passing for 185 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
