Arch Manning's season debut—and first game as the full-time starting quarterback at Texas—left plenty to be desired. Manning managed just 170 yards with one touchdown and interception on 17-of-30 passing in a 14–7 loss to Ohio State.
The Longhorns' Week 2 opponent, San José State, is a far cry from the defending national champion Buckeyes, but it was still important for Manning and the Texas offense to hit the ground running. The Longhorns were forced to punt on their first two possessions, but Manning let it rip late in the first quarter.
