Overview
- The Longhorns are 3-2 after a 29-21 defeat at Florida and have dropped out of the AP Top 25.
- Arch Manning went 16-for-29 for 263 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, taking six sacks under heavy pressure.
- Texas produced a season-low 52 rushing yards and committed multiple presnap penalties, with Steve Sarkisian acknowledging blocking and game-planning must improve.
- Sarkisian praised Manning’s toughness, calling it “contact courage,” while drawing ridicule for saying few teams would win at Ohio State or The Swamp.
- Preparations for Oklahoma include planning for quarterback John Mateer, as outside voices debate benching Manning with senior Matthew Caldwell noted as the primary alternative.
