When Texas handed quarterback Arch Manning its starting job this offseason, this probably wasn't the outcome the Longhorns imagined.
It's true that Texas is about where fans expected it to be at this point in the season—1–1 with a loss to Ohio State, and likely to move to 2–1. However, the Longhorns gutted through an eyesore of a first half Saturday, taking a 14–3 lead on UTEP as Manning endured the worst half of his young career.
