'Oh, you know' - Texas Longhorns playmaker isn't shy about telling the big difference between Arch Manning and Quinn Ewers originally appeared on A to Z Sports.
Texas Longhorns wide receiver DeAndre Moore met with the media Thursday after day two of fall camp in Austin, Tex. The junior wideout from St. John Bosco (Calif.) was asked about his former quarterback, Quinn Ewers, and his new quarterback, Arch Manning.
Moore gave a hilarious comparison that should have Texas fans excited. This exchange with a reporter got some media members to chuckle when asked about the difference between Ewers and Manning:
"One had baby wheels and one has super wheels."
A reporter followed up with "which one's which?" Moore was quick to respond.
"Oh, you know."

Hell, the guy played high school basketball in the off-season when he wasn't throwing darts on the football at Isidore-Newman (La.) in New Orleans. But, when you look at former college quarterbacks with similar builds and athletic makeups, a few come to mind.
247Sports' national recruiting analyst Cooper Petagna likens his game to former LSU quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner, and current Cincinnati Bengals star, Joe Burrow.
"Possesses an ideal frame at 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds and growth potential to add additional 10-to-15 pounds to his frame at the next level," Petagna said. "Displays above average athleticism and adequate mobility as a runner, increasing his rushing totals every season over the last three years.
"Appears to have good pocket awareness/presence and the ability to extend plays with his feet. Has enough mobility as a runner to have to respect him in situational down and distance areas," Petagna said. "Exhibits clean feet in the pocket while demonstrating good foot quickness and play tempo in his drop."
"In his two starts, he reminded me a lot of Trevor Lawrence when Trevor Lawrence was at Clemson," Joel Klatt said on his radio show earlier this week. "An athletic guy who didn't beat you with his athleticism, but could. He beat you with his arm.
"Smart, competitive, great pedigree, obviously," Klatt said. "In his two starts, 13 total touchdowns, two interceptions. I mean, the guy can play."
Ewers was no slouch, mind you. He is 1st in Big 12 title single-game passing touchdowns (4), 2nd in Texas career consecutive games with a passing touchdown (26), 3rd in Texas single-game passing touchdowns (5), and 3rd in Texas career passing yards (9,128).
His final two seasons in the burnt orange, Ewers completed 65 percent of his passes for 9,128 yards and 68 touchdowns. He also ran for 731 yards and 12 touchdowns. Ewers' career included leading Texas to a Big 12 title and back-to-back College Football Playoff semifinals.
If Moore is right and it is possibly this much of an upgrade, Texas fans could be in for a fun 2025 season. And possibly beyond.
