No. 1 Texas, Arch Manning, come down to earth in team’s 30-6 win over UTSA
After an instant-classic comeback against then-No. 1 Ohio State last weekend, the Longhorns looked to waltz past UTSA. Instead, Texas slogged through a 30-6 win over the Roadrunners. The Longhorns entered Saturday’s matchup as roughly 35-point favorites. The expectation was clear: Texas would steamroll Jeff Traylor’s squad and get its backups on the field early. That didn’t happen until late in the fourth quarter.
Offensive Missteps Texas also entered the game amid a swirl of headlines surrounding quarterback Arch Manning. Most stemmed from his reaction to a TikTok featuring ESPN sideline reporter Holly Rowe. Manning looked inconsistent throughout the night. He missed several open receivers by several yards. Still, Cam Coleman continued to show why Texas pursued him in the transfer portal. Coleman caught two first-half touchdowns and now has four through three games.
