Texas HC Steve Sarkisian gives Quinn Ewers update and more
The story of the week for Texas is whether or not starting quarterback Quinn Ewers will play this weekend.
For a week or more, some have hinted that Ewers could return much earlier than expected. It appears that could happen on Saturday.
On Thursday, Steve Sarkisian stated Ewers would suit up for the trip to Lubbock in Week 4. That doesn’t necessarily mean he will in fact start the game, but there’s a growing sense of confidence as the Texas Tech game approaches.
Certainly, there is little benefit to suiting up a player who can’t play. Using Ewers as a decoy doesn’t make much sense either. It seems like Sarkisian will give Ewers a shot to play on Saturday if the signal caller is up to the task.
Sarkisian discussed that and other topics during his time with the media. Here’s a glimpse at some of what Sarkisian had to say.
On QBs, Texas coach Sarkisian says Quinn Ewers will make the trip and dress.

Sarkisian on 1H suspension as a result of targeting:
“It seems tough on a kid when it’s an instantaneous tackle that he has to sit out another half of football in a whole ‘nother game that doesn’t have any impact on the game that he was just a part of when that penalty occurred.”— CJ Vogel (@CJVogel_TFB) September 22, 2022
Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian said Quinn Ewers, Hudson Card, Maalik Murphy, and Charles Wright will travel to Texas Tech. Sarkisian said he has been very impressed with Murphy this week.
