Quick Summary

Arch Manning, the highly touted quarterback for the top-ranked Texas Longhorns, started strong by throwing two touchdown passes early in a game against UTSA on Saturday night in Austin. However, he struggled later in the game, completing only 17 of 33 passes for 164 yards and taking several hard hits before being substituted halfway through the fourth quarter. Despite Manning's performance issues, Texas won the game 30-6, improving their record to 3-0 heading into a challenging SEC opener against No. 15 Tennessee next week.

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.
