Story summary

On Saturday night, Arch Manning led the top-ranked Texas Longhorns to a victory over UTSA with two early touchdown passes, but his performance was inconsistent as he completed only 16 of 32 passes for 164 yards. Despite this, Texas won the game 30-6, improving their record to 3-0. The win came after Texas's dramatic fourth-quarter comeback against Ohio State the previous week. However, UTSA made things challenging for Manning and the Longhorns defense took several hits during the game. Texas will face a tougher test next week when they travel to Knoxville to play No. 15 Tennessee in their SEC opener.
