But Manning has done everything his way through his recruitment and since he got to Texas. And now, finally, with Ewers announcing for the NFL Draft on Wednesday, the keys are in Manning’s hands to run the Longhorns’ offense. He’s being handed a Lamborghini and Manning should make it purr.

Manning's first game as the unquestioned face of Texas football will be against the same team Ewers faced in his last: Ohio State in Week 1.

After falling short in the CFP for the second consecutive season, what’s next for the Longhorns as they look to get over the hump.

Texas QB Arch Manning is expected to get the Longhorns back into the College Football Playoff next year, and more, regardless of who's around him in Austin.
