Austin, Texas – Texas Longhorns head football coach Steve Sarkisian announced that starting quarterback Quinn Ewers sustained a small injury setback on Thursday when teammate and backup quarterback Arch Manning jumped out of Ewers’ locker wearing a replica Jalon Walker jersey.
“That’s about as scary of a thing as Quinn could imagine, honestly,” Sark said during the injury report portion of media availability on Friday.
“Here’s the story,” coach Sarkisian continued, “Quinn got in early to do some film work, and when he got here, Arch was waiting, he jumps out and yells ‘Aaaaah, GO DAWGS! Sack lunch, nom, nom, nom,’ and that’s what really put it over the edge,” the head coach explained.
“He had a good Halloween idea, and he just took it a little too far, that’s all. It gave Quinn a pretty good fright, and he got twisted up a little bit. Luckily, we’re off tomorrow, so he has plenty of time to heal up before Florida,” Coach Sarkisian said.
Sarkisian wouldn’t comment on whether he believed the Halloween attack was depth chart motivated.
