Does Sark make the change and go with Manning or does he stay with Ewers for our game?

Both will play, especially if Ewers struggles

Manning is a capable runner, much more so than Ewers.
If we can stifle their offense early, Sark will change it up quickly because he has shown before than he will make that change. Some say having 2 QB's means you really have none, but in this case they are both capable but depends on what style of defense and I do think Manning will give our Tigers trouble if he plays

I hope its Ewers, their offense has been struggling a lot lately...scoring no more than 31 in the last 4 games and that was against KY. Only 19, 17, and 20 the other 3 games. If we can keep the game low scoring we def got a chance. Just need to play clean on offense.

Our deficiency in containing a running QB is well known

This leads me to think Manning may play a large role.

Sark is no idiot. He will definitely play Manning to keep our defense on their heels.

Arch won't start

Texas is an 11-point favorite playing at home so I doubt Sark feels like he needs to make any drastic moves in this game.
I would not be surprised if he works Arch in though to prepare for a potential switch later in the playoff if necessary.

Coaches don't give a carp about the spread that's not how a gameplan comes together. Not taking a shot at you but I do think he flips on the film and Manning will see the field often especially if Ewers struggles or Manning is washing the defense.

I think Ewers will have a short leash.

He’ll put Manning in to jump start the offense if Ewers isn’t getting it done. Things are for real now so he’ll do what it takes to move on to the next round.

Just don't think he would do that to Ewers. Ride with the one who got you there. He may use Manning some in the game.

I don't think Ewers has been 100% healthy since early season, i think he will start but Manning will get at least one series during the game unless Ewers is ineffective.

He will stick mainly with Ewers, but he will have packages for Manning.

He would be completely clueless if he did not have a good portion of the game plan dedicated to the QB run game against Clemson. We have not proven we can tackle consistently, and have had issues with mobile QB's all year. I would imagine Sark will put in plenty of check downs that will exploit Clemson's nickle and dime packages by running players deep and running the QB after 1-2 quick reads. Sark will also use Ewers running the football in a few instances to try and catch Clemson off guard. Goodwin will have his hands full.

Ewers is struggling and the offense certainly looks more dynamic with Manning. It is so tough to pull that trigger as a head coach and bench your senior leader. Certainly the top storyline heading into the game.
