Overview

  • Manning went 18-of-21 for 309 yards with three touchdown passes and two rushing scores in his cleanest outing of the season.
  • After a first-quarter rushing touchdown, he stood over linebacker Antavious Fish and was admonished without a flag; he later apologized and said his mother was upset.
  • Texas dominated statistically, outgaining Sam Houston 607-113 with nine consecutive scoring drives and a 45-0 lead before Manning sat.
  • Teammates and coach Steve Sarkisian said he "got his swagger back," citing a looser, more decisive approach.
  • Now 3-1 entering a bye, Texas slipped to No. 10 in the AP poll and opens SEC play at Florida on Oct. 4, which is Manning’s first road start against an SEC opponent.
