The No. 1 Texas Longhorns will open SEC play on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium against the Mississippi State Bulldogs without starting quarterback Quinn Ewers, who was listed as out on the official injury report released a little more than 90 minutes before game time.
Earlier on Saturday, ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Ewers was not expected to play.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is not expected to play against Mississippi State today, per ESPN sources. A final decision will be made later in the day, as Ewers is nearly 70-percent and the coaching staff is prioritizing full health for Oklahoma.
