No. 1. Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday that quarterback Quinn Ewers is considered day-to-day with an abdominal injury picked up in Saturday's win over UT-San Antonio.
Ewers, 21, is now questionable for Saturday's game against Louisiana-Monroe.
Asked Sark for clarity. He said Ewers is questionable for Monroe, not out. Still, I'd be shocked if he plays.

Arch Manning, who starred in Ewers' absence in the 56-7 win over the Roadrunners, is expected to get the start.
Ewers left in the second quarter of Saturday's game after taking a hard hit. At the time of his exit, Ewers had thrown for 185 yards on 14-for-16 passing with two touchdowns and an interception.
In his stead, Manning came in and threw for 223 yards on 9-for-12 passing and four TDs.
For his efforts, Manning was named SEC co-Freshman of the Week.
