Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns suffered their second straight defeat on Saturday afternoon at the hands of the Florida Gators.<\/p>\n
Manning didn’t have his best day in burnt orange, as he threw for 173 yards and had a game-ending fumble in the 27-24 defeat in Austin.<\/p>\n
Manning and the Longhorns rushed out to a 17-3 lead thanks to the ground game and special teams. <\/p>\n
Raleek Brown opened the scoring on a 32-yard touchdown run and Ryan Niblett returned a punt 62 yards to the end zone. <\/p>\n
Manning didn’t play a massive role in the scoring until late in the fourth quarter, when he hit Cam Coleman for a nine-yard touchdown pass.<\/p>\n
Manning hit Emmett Mosley V for a 62-yard pass to set up the touchdown pass to Coleman. <\/p>\n
However, Manning failed to complete the comeback in the fourth. He fumbled on the Longhorns’ final drive on a 1st-and-down play that started at the Texas 46-yard-line. <\/p>\n
Prior to the touchdown, Texas had two punts and a turnover on downs in the second half on offense. <\/p>\n
Manning’s personal stat line wasn’t terrible, but he didn’t overly impress either against a team that was ranked in the top 10 just two weeks ago. <\/p>\n
Manning and the Longhorns will attempt to bounce back at home next week, but that will be difficult against the No. 9 Ole Miss Rebels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns suffered their second straight defeat on Saturday afternoon at the hands of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":469070,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[27,29,28],"class_list":["post-469069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469069","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=469069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/469069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/469070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=469069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=469069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=469069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
