The long-anticipated moment has finally arrived: Arch Manning has officially made his Texas debut.
Manning, a five-star recruit and heir to his famed family’s football legacy, took the field for his first time as a Longhorn on Friday night in the third quarter of No. 7 Texas’s 57–7 win over visiting Texas Tech.
Manning failed to connect on his first two passes after taking over for starter Quinn Ewers with the Longhorns leading, 50–7. Ewers had connected on 17 of 26 pass attempts for 196 yards with one touchdown pass and one interception. Manning did scramble for 17 yards on two carries during his first drive, but he also took a 10-yard loss on a sack.
