Could the Longhorns be vulnerable in the Sugar Bowl now that Maalik Murphy is gone?
The loss of Maalik Murphy to Texas puts the Longhorns in a potentially dangerous situation.

Maalik Murphy spent as much time as possible there. Nothing would please him more than to wait it out with a clipboard in hand while observing from the sidelines of the Ceasers Superdome.

Football in college isn’t like that. Coaches aren’t giving scholarships to transfers who want to begin in the autumn either.

Murphy, who played for the Texas Longhorns for two seasons, verified on Thursday night that he had registered on the transfer site and won’t be available for the College Football Playoff quarterfinal on January 1 versus No. 2 Washington. Timing was the key factor, as seen by the 30-day transfer portal window that ended following the national title.

“It’s not at all against Texas,” Murphy said to ESPN on Wednesday. “I’m only doing this for me and my future. I will always consider myself a Longhorn and a member of this outstanding group.

You can describe it as depressing, harsh, icy, or unpleasant. Murphy never left even after obtaining everything. Either he would stay through the spring and be late for the celebration at his next house, or he may manage to

The Longhorns now have to choose wisely in the event of an injury. Quinn Ewers needs to play eight more quarters to make this a moot issue.

Say, however, that it doesn’t? Imagine that Texas loses Ewers once more, which would force Steve Sarkisian to go elsewhere. Would he summon the Longhorn football team’s future, Arch Manning?

Could he go to Charles Wright, who had only played in fewer than a dozen repetitions as a walk-on?

Murphy’s passing might make people think of 2009. Isn’t that the moment that everyone remembers? You know, where true freshman Garrett Gilbert took over as the team’s offensive coordinator after Colt McCoy left during the first quarter?

Ewers and McCoy have similar voices, don’t they?

The Longhorns only need one more hit to bring Manning out and see what lies next. If he makes an impression, Texas will have two potentially strong starters as the SEC moves into a new era.

Is this Gilbert 2.0, if he falters? I mean, everyone knows how his stint in Austin came to an end, right? If Alabama can defeat Michigan in California, it might even take place against the same team Gilbert faced.

Wright may be a member of the team, but Sarkisian uses him as a last option. Against Texas Tech, Manning took over and didn’t do much. Nevertheless, the more reps he gets, the better, as he is Texas’ future.

Murphy’s exit might also be a factor to consider in terms of depth come 2024. Ewers will wait until after the postseason to decide whether to declare for the NFL draft.
