Arch Manning’s Six Touchdowns Lift No. 17 Texas Over Arkansas, 52–37

The win keeps Texas’ long-shot CFP hopes alive, setting up a must-win against No. 3 Texas A&M next week.

Overview

  • Manning posted a career-high 389 passing yards with four touchdown throws, plus one rushing and one receiving score, becoming the first Longhorn to record touchdowns passing, rushing and receiving in a game.
  • Texas improved to 8-3 overall and 5-2 in the SEC and now faces unbeaten Texas A&M on Friday in Austin in a game it likely must win to stay in playoff contention.
  • DeAndre Moore Jr. caught three touchdowns, and Parker Livingstone logged 104 receiving yards with a 54-yard TD and a trick-play pass to Manning for a score.
  • Texas surrendered 512 yards but generated two second-half takeaways, including Jelani McDonald’s interception and Liona Lefau’s 52-yard fumble return for a touchdown.
  • Arkansas fell to 2-9 and 0-7 in SEC play with its ninth straight loss in a turbulent season that included an in-year coaching change.
