There was anarchy after the Week 8 college football schedule, in which the Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Texas Longhorns, who had been ranked first. Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers will miss the remainder of the collegiate football season in order to prepare for the NFL draft, according to a purported snapshot of the official 247Sports social media account.
While other fan accounts shared the purportedly 247Sports-posted screenshot, some members of the media in the Longhorns’ locker room thought it was a hoax. Following the screenshot’s social media virality, Ewers added
Ewers shared a picture of former US President Donald Trump along with the caption, “Fake News.”Ewers shared the image to his more than 250k-follower Instagram account. Through numerous fan accounts, the report has received thousands of shares and more than a million views on social media.

Throughout the season, Ewers and the Longhorns have dominated press headlines. Although their top-tier play has contributed to Texas’s popularity, Arch Manning’s ascent also had an impact.
Ewers completed 25-of-43 pass attempts for 211 yards and two touchdowns in Texas’ Week 8 loss against the Bulldogs, while Manning saw little play but managed 19 yards on three completions. When the Longhorns play the Vanderbilt Commodores, another SEC rival, in Week 9, they will try to recover.
