Just six days ago, Texas quarterback Arch Maning was hit hard and hit his head on the ground even harder. Unsurprisingly, when head coach Steve Sarkisian provided an update on his status, it was that Manning had entered concussion protocol.
Then, on Wednesday, less than four full days after suffering the blow to the head, Manning returned to practice, and that trend continued throughout the rest of the week.
On Friday morning, Sarkisian and the Longhorns reported that their quarterback was a "game-time decision," despite suffering the concussion just six days prior to the announcement.
