Arch Manning’s hot start for the Texas Longhorns has garnered a lot of praise from fans and critics alike. Among those who have reacted positively to his awesome game is no other than Atlanta Hawks All-Star point guard Trae Young.
Manning made a remarkable impact after stepping in for an injured Quinn Ewers during the Texas Longhorns’ game against UTSA. In just three plays, Manning scored two touchdowns, showcasing his agility and skill. His first play was a touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore, extending Texas’ lead to 21-0. Following a brief response from UTSA, Manning answered back with a stunning 67-yard touchdown run, pushing the score to 28-7 at halftime.
This performance marked a significant moment for Manning, as he demonstrated a different style compared to his famous uncles, Peyton and Eli, who were known for their pocket-passing abilities. Manning’s ability to run added a new dimension to the Longhorns’ offense, highlighting his versatility as a quarterback.
The Longhorns ultimately dominated the game, winning 56-7, with Manning contributing significantly to the team’s success. His rapid ascension not only alleviates concerns about Ewers’ health but also sets the stage for Manning to potentially make his first collegiate start if Ewers remains sidelined. Fans are eager to see how Manning’s journey unfolds in the coming weeks.

Prior to this game, Manning had already shown promise in a previous outing against Colorado State, where he completed five of six passes for 95 yards and scored once on the ground. With Ewers’ injury status uncertain, Manning’s role becomes crucial as he moves up the depth chart, now positioned as the second-string quarterback following the transfer of Maalik Murphy.
Even though Manning hasn’t won the starting QB role yet at Texas, the potential everyone saw has made more heads turn towards his direction. If he keeps this up, there’s bound to be a bigger role for him in the team.
