As the University of Texas enters a pivotal season under the bright lights of the SEC, all attention seems to be centered on Arch Manning, who is tipped to contend for the Heisman

Cam Newton defends Arch Manning's decision to remain at Texas as a backup to Quinn Ewers, emphasizing that patience can lead to long-term success. Drawing from his own experience, Newton believes waiting to start can ultimately prepare Manning for the NFL.

The Texas Longhorns had two valuable quarterbacks on their roster last season, Arch Manning and Quinn Ewers. Ewers, 22, was given the starting job by head coach Steve Sarkisian and appeared in 14 games. He threw for 3,472 yards, 31 touchdowns and 12 interceptions on a 65.8% completion rate.
