The Texas Longhorns defeated the UTSA Roadrunners on Saturday 56-7. One of the game’s biggest stories was quarterback Quinn Ewers getting injured and Arch Manning coming into the game for him and showing off. On Saturday, the Longhorns were the second-ranked team in the country and made a massive case to be the top-ranked team in the country.
With the Georgia Bulldogs only winning on Saturday night on the road 13-12 against the Kentucky Wildcats, many wondered if the Texas Longhorns would jump Georgia in the Top 25 rankings.
