AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Quinn Ewers’ mullet is gone. The big arm is still there. So is the competition that comes with the big name of Manning behind it. Texas wraps spring practice Saturday with the Longhorns’ annual scrimmage, allowing the first real look at the biggest quarterback battle in the Big 12. And while the focus has been on Ewers and early-enrolled freshman Arch Manning, second-year player Maalik Murphy is making a push as well. Manning is the son of Cooper Manning and nephew of famous former NFL quarterbacks Peyton and Eli.
