Overview

• Texas moved to 3-1 after Manning went 18-of-21 for 309 yards with three passing touchdowns and two rushing scores in Saturday’s shutout.
• Sam Houston State entered winless, and Manning’s surge did not boost national perception as his FanDuel odds shifted from +3500 to +4000.
• Head coach Steve Sarkisian said Manning plays at his best when he shows emotion and noted fans saw more of his personality in the win.
• Manning briefly stood over a defender after a rushing touchdown, officials intervened, he apologized to a referee, and he said his mother was unhappy with the taunt.
• He distributed the ball to 11 receivers and now enters a bye before Texas opens SEC play at Florida on Oct. 4.
