COLLEGE STATION — In October, Texas football coach Steve Sarkisian said he hadn't "ever entertained" the idea of installing a package to manufacture some touches for Arch Manning, the Longhorns' backup quarterback. Sarkisian's reasoning? Well ...

With Texas facing a 4th-and-2 at the Texas A&M 15, Manning replaced starter Quinn Ewers and scrambled for the game's first touchdown. Manning was initially ruled to have gone out of bounds before scoring, but that call was overturned by a review. The touchdown gave Texas a 7-0 lead with 3:07 left in the first quarter.

That's exactly what happened Saturday evening in College Station, Texas as the No. 3 Longhorns and No. 20 Aggies squared off. When Texas faced 4th-and-2 on the Texas A&M 15-yard line with 3:07 left in the first quarter, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian summoned quarterback Arch Manning off the bench to temporarily replace Quinn Ewers.
