Nick Saban<\/a><\/strong> knows how the Quinn Ewers<\/a><\/strong>, Arch Manning<\/a><\/strong> dynamic feels like due to his experience in 2017 and \u201818 at Alabama<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Back then, Saban had two guys by the name of Jalen Hurts<\/a><\/strong> and Tua Tagovailoa<\/a><\/strong>, who went on to both be NFL quarterbacks. The dynamic was intriguing then and it\u2019s still intriguing now.<\/p>\n

Saban was quite confident in Texas<\/strong><\/a> this season managing Ewers and Manning, saying the Longhorns need both guys.<\/p>\n

This kind of goes hand in hand with the Jalen Hurts, Tua situation we had,\u201d Saban said on College GameDay<\/em>. \u201cJalen was 26-2 as a starter, but we played Tua as much as we could, because we knew there was going to be a time when he was going to need to go in the game and win the game, when Jalen Hurts wasn\u2019t available or wasn\u2019t able to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this is exactly what Texas\u2019s situation is, which is very good long term because depth on your team is going to have a significant impact this year with all the games you got to play in the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hurts was pulled in the national championship against Georgia<\/strong><\/a>, with Tagovailoa taking over and winning the game. The following year, Tagovailoa was knocked out of the SEC Championship and Hurts led a second half comeback.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to duplicate that type of quarterback ability, but if similar situations arise, Ewers and Manning can both man the Texas ship.<\/p>\n

Quinn Ewers, Arch Manning provide great dynamic at Texas<\/h2>\n

Former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow doesn\u2019t see a controversy at Texas<\/a>. Ewers is still the guy, but Manning will fill in until the OG starter is back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Arch has played extremely well, not just well, but excellent to elite,\u201d Tebow told On3.<\/a> \u201cHe really has. He\u2019s done so many things, whether it\u2019s been accuracy or poise, decision making, ball placement, athleticism, so many things well, but with all that said, I do not think there\u2019s a quarterback controversy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Quinn Ewers is one of the best players in the country. I think he has the legit shot for the Heisman, Texas has a legit shot to be a playoff contender, if not a championship winner. Do they have the best quarterback room in the country? Probably with both of them. Could Arch be an elite quarterback right now? Yes, probably. But I don\u2019t think that you have a controversy.\u201d<\/p>\n
