In a thrilling display of prowess at Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium, Arch Manning led the Texas Longhorns to a dominating 56-7 win over UTSA. Manning threw for four touchdowns and added a remarkable 67-yard rushing touchdown, marking an impressive performance reminiscent of Colt McCoy in 2006. The Texas offense started strong with Quinn Ewers orchestrating an 84-yard drive culminating in a touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond. Ewers contributed significantly, passing Vince Young's all-time touchdown record, placing him sixth in Texas history. Manning entered and swiftly made an impact with a winning strike to DeAndre Moore Jr. and then a sprint through UTSA’s defense for a touchdown. In the third quarter, Manning's dynamic passes to Isaiah Bond and Ryan Wingo extended the lead. Texas defense excelled by keeping UTSA scoreless in the second half, sealing the win with Ethan Burke's intercepting touchdown. Their next challenge is against ULM as they aim for a four-game winning streak.
