Report: Texas backup QB Maalik Murphy could miss Big 12 Championship game

AUSTIN, Texas — Following the 57-7 win by the No. 7 Texas Longhorns over the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Friday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, head coach Steve Sarkisian provided an injury update on redshirt freshman quarterback Maalik Murphy, freshman running back CJ Baxter, and senior cornerback Ryan Watts.

Murphy was notably absent from the sideline for most of the second half with third-string freshman quarterback Arch Manning entering the game late in the third quarter instead of Murphy.

Sarkisian revealed that Murphy was injured on the 95-yard kickoff return touchdown by senior running back Keilan Robinson to open the second half.
