In a highly anticipated season-opening game for both programs, Heisman Trophy hopeful Arch Manning and the top-ranked Texas Longhorns were defeated 14-7 by the defending-champion Ohio State Buckeyes at Ohio Stadium on Saturday. And Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning, grandson of Archie Manning and already one of the most hyped quarterback prospects in the nation, largely disappointed for much of the afternoon.
Manning completed 17 of 30 passes for 170 yards one touchdown and one interception, and was largely held in check by the stout Buckeyes defense before briefly showing some flashes of his arm talent in the fourth quarter.
