AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 Texas Longhorns redshirt sophomore quarterback Arch Manning did not practice on Monday after entering concussion protocol as a result of a hit by the Mississippi State Bulldogs on a 13-yard scramble in overtime, head coach Steve Sarkisian revealed during his weekly press conference.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll have more information as the week goes,\u201d Sarkisian said.<\/p>\n
Post-game reports from ESPN<\/a> and Chip Brown of Horns247<\/a> broke the news that Manning suffered a concussion, which left him in the medical tent receiving treatment as his backup, redshirt senior Matthew Caldwell, threw the go-ahead touchdown to sophomore wide receiver Emmett Mosley.<\/p>\n The injury could keep Manning from playing next Saturday against No. 10 Vanderbilt, which beat No. 15 Missouri in Nashville on Saturday, 17-10.<\/p>\n Manning set a career high with 346 passing yards against the Bulldogs on 27-of-46 passing (63 percent) with three passing touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter as the Longhorns rallied from a 17-point deficit in the final 12:29 of regulation. In the final quarter, Manning was at his best, going 12-of-20 for 166 yards, the first time a Longhorns quarterback has thrown for at least 150 passing yards and two touchdowns in the fourth quarterback since Sam Ehlinger in 2019. The Texas starter added a rushing touchdown and the two longest runs of the night for Texas, scrambles of 15 yards and 13 yards.<\/p>\n If Manning can\u2019t play against the Commodores, Caldwell will take over. The former Jacksonville State, Gardner-Webb, and Troy quarterback started six games for the Trojans last season, averaging 235.6 yards per game in his five starts to end the 2024 campaign and went 141-of-223 passing for 1,608 yards, 13 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, as well as recording five rushing touchdowns.<\/p>\n With the Longhorns, Caldwell is 8-of-11 passing for 85 yards and the touchdown to Mosley with two carries for 64 yards. In SEC play, Caldwell has completed both of his passes while replacing Manning, completing a 26-yard pass in the loss to Florida in addition to the go-ahead touchdown on Saturday.<\/p>\n Sarkisian was impressed with how Caldwell performed taking first-team reps on Monday.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought he had a great practice today,\u201d Sarkisian said. \u201cI think the players have a lot of confidence in him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AUSTIN, Texas \u2014 Texas Longhorns redshirt sophomore quarterback Arch Manning did not practice on Monday after entering concussion…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":24142,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,536,6467,28],"class_list":{"0":"post-24141","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-texas","9":"tag-texas-headlines","10":"tag-texas-longhorns-football","11":"tag-texas-longhorns-football-injuries","12":"tag-texas-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24141"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24141\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
