Texas Blanks Sam Houston 55-0 as Arch Manning Rebounds With Five TDs

The outing restored confidence for the sophomore quarterback heading into an Oct. 4 SEC opener at Florida.

Overview

  • Arch Manning finished 18-of-21 for 309 yards with three touchdown passes and two rushing scores before leaving early in the third quarter.
  • Texas outgained Sam Houston 607-113, limited the Bearkats to 27 rushing yards, and held them to 2-of-13 on third down.
  • Ryan Wingo hauled in touchdown receptions of 53 and 13 yards as Texas opened with nine straight scoring drives.
  • Manning’s end-zone flex over defender Antavious Fish after a first-half rushing TD drew media criticism, and he later called it “probably a little much.”
  • The Longhorns improved to 3-1 in a game shown exclusively on ESPN+/SEC Network+ and enter a bye before visiting Florida on Oct. 4 to begin SEC play.
