The old saying goes that if a team has two quarterbacks they actually have zero, but that couldn't be the furthest thing from the truth for Texas. The Longhorns starter Quinn Ewers has had a solid season this year, but he has dealt with some injuries and stretches of poor play that has given phenom Arch Manning some playing time.
The talented QB is someone that Georgia is going to have to be ready for, because he quite often is used throughout every game and punishes defenses. And his style of play is one that Georgia football has struggled with mightily this season.
Mobile quarterbacks
Georgia had to face a mobile quarterback more than a few times this season, and everytime they did UGA struggled. DJ Lagway with Florida and Haynes King with Georgia Tech really gave the Bulldogs some fits, and even the UMass quarterback was finding a lot of success in the beginning of that game two weeks ago as well.
Every team struggles with mobile quarterbacks more than they do pure pocket passers, but Georgia especially seems to have issues with them. And that is where Manning comes in, becuase he is QB who can be deadly on the ground.
So far this season, Manning has thrown for 939 yards, nine touchdowns and only two interceptions. On top of that, he has run the ball 20 times for 95 yards and four more touchdowns. 20 rushing attempts may not sound like a lot, but in the limited playing time he's received as the backup this season it actually is a good amount.
So while Kirby Smart and Georgia's defense are going to have a tough time preparing for Ewers, they are going to have to be ready to face Manning as well. It would be a major surprise if Manning did not see the field for at least a couple drives, and if Ewers struggles like he did in the first meeting, then Texas may turn to Manning for the rest of the game.
And that could be bad news for Georgia if that happens.
