Overview

  • Arch Manning went 18-of-21 for 309 yards with three touchdown passes and two rushing scores, completing 14 straight at one point in his best outing of the season.
  • Texas outgained Sam Houston 607-113, held the Bearkats to 27 rushing yards, and logged double-digit tackles for loss in a wire-to-wire shutout.
  • Manning exited early in the third quarter with Texas leading 45-0 as backups finished the tune-up that moved the Longhorns to 3-1.
  • After a first-quarter rushing TD, Manning stood over defender Antavious Fish; no flag was thrown, and he later called the celebration "probably a little much," noting his mother was upset.
  • Despite the blowout, Texas fell two spots to No. 10 in the AP poll and now enters a Week 5 bye before opening SEC play at Florida on Oct. 4.
