Opponents have converted 14 of their 30 fourth-down attempts against the Texas defense this season, and that 53.3% stop rate ranks 33rd nationally.

No starting quarterback has a more famous heir apparent than Texas football gunslinger Quinn Ewers, who is backed up on the depth chart by redshirt freshman Arch Manning. Missing some time with an oblique injury earlier this season presented Ewers with an opportunity to watch Manning take charge of real-game action and pair that evaluation with what he sees in practice each day.
