Overview

  • Texas improved to 2-1 behind a stingy defense that limited UTEP to 259 total yards in Austin.
  • Arch Manning ran for two first‑half touchdowns but finished 11 of 25 for 114 yards with one touchdown and one interception, including a stretch of 10 straight incompletions that drew boos from the home crowd.
  • The offense struggled to sustain drives, going 1-for-9 on third down in the first half and turning it over on downs multiple times, with an end‑zone interception halting a red‑zone chance.
  • Running back depth tightened as starter Quintrevion Wisner sat for a second straight game and C.J. Baxter exited after the first play with a leg injury, leaving Texas still without a rushing touchdown by a tailback this season.
  • UTEP quarterback Malachi Nelson went 24 of 36 for 209 yards with two interceptions, and Texas hosts Sam Houston State next.
