Arch Manning, the highly-touted redshirt freshman quarterback for the Texas Longhorns, made headlines by throwing his first collegiate touchdown and scoring a rushing touchdown during a blowout win against Colorado State. Entering the game late in the third quarter, Manning completed four passes for 65 yards, showcasing his playmaking ability with a flip pass to wide receiver Silas Bolden for a touchdown. Texas starter Quinn Ewers had an impressive outing, completing 20-of-27 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns before Manning took over. With Ewers expected to declare for the NFL Draft, Manning is positioned as the likely starter for the Longhorns next season. Despite previous doubts about transferring, Manning has expressed his commitment to staying at Texas and developing as a player. The Longhorns aim to compete for an SEC title and a spot in the College Football Playoffs this season.
