Coach Steve Sarkisian expects quarterback Quinn Ewers to be ready to start when No. 1 Texas plays No. 18 Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry on Saturday in Dallas, but the Longhorns will continue to monitor his recovery through the week.
Ewers suffered an oblique injury while throwing across his body and was replaced by Arch Manning in Texas' victory against UTSA on Sept. 14. Manning started the last two games -- victories over UL Monroe and Mississippi State.
Sarkisian said Ewers practiced three times last week and again Monday.
