Texas Longhorns Secure 30-6 Victory Over UTSA Ahead of SEC Schedule
WHY IT MATTERS
The Longhorns' performance ahead of their SEC opener sets the stage for a crucial test against Tennessee, with the outcome potentially impacting their season trajectory.
What happened
Arch Manning, the star quarterback of the top-ranked Texas Longhorns, threw two touchdown passes in the early stages of the game but struggled for the remainder of the contest. Despite this, Texas secured a 30-6 victory over UTSA, improving their record to 3-0. The Longhorns' defense played a crucial role in the win, allowing just 143 total yards and keeping the Roadrunners out of the end zone.
Manning finished the night with 164 passing yards, completing 17 of 33 passes, but took several hard hits throughout the game. He left the game about halfway through the fourth quarter.
Texas will face a tougher challenge next week as they open Southeastern Conference play against No. 15 Tennessee in Knoxville.
