This upcoming game should not be a problem for Texas, but it will be a good experience for Arch Manning, as he is in line to get significant playing time. It is expected that Quinn Ewers will take the starting job back when healthy, as Texas has some big games approaching in a few weeks against Oklahoma and Georgia as SEC play begins.

Texas coach Steve Sarkisian says freshman quarterback Arch Manning will get his first career start Saturday against Louisiana-Monroe.

Manning has long been a curiosity as a top recruit with a famous last name. He gets his first chance to start for Texas on Saturday.
