Arch Manning ignited the top-ranked Texas Longhorns with two early touchdown passes, but the star quarterback’s performance was otherwise inconsistent as Texas narrowly defeated UTSA 30-6, a victory shadowed by the looming start of their rigorous Southeastern Conference schedule. Manning, who finished with 164 passing yards on a mere 17 completions out of 33 attempts, absorbed several punishing hits throughout the game before exiting in the fourth quarter. The Longhorns, now 3-0, face their first true test next week on the road against No. 15 Tennessee in their SEC opener, a Volunteers team that also remained undefeated with a dominant win. While receiver Cam Coleman secured two crucial touchdowns, and kicker Gianni Spetic added three field goals, Manning’s struggles with accuracy and multiple hard collisions highlighted potential vulnerabilities. The Texas defense, however, continued its impressive form, limiting UTSA to just 143 total yards and preventing any scores, a promising sign as they prepare to face the elite competition of the SEC.
