Overview

  • The win at DKR Memorial Stadium on Sept. 13 moved Texas to 2-1 and dropped UTEP to 1-2.
  • Arch Manning went 11-of-25 for 114 yards passing, rushed for two first-half touchdowns, and later hit Ryan Wingo for a fourth-quarter score.
  • UTEP quarterback Malachi Nelson completed 24 of 36 passes for 209 yards to pace the Miners’ offense.
  • Texas totaled 340 yards, the lowest output opponents have allowed against the Longhorns in the modern era, and the 17-point margin was the series’ second smallest.
  • Manning’s 5-yard run with one second left in the half made it 14-3, and Shay Smith’s late 2-yard touchdown set the final score as UTEP turns home to host ULM on Sept. 20.
