The UTSA Roadrunners faced off against the second-ranked Texas Longhorns and struggled as the Longhorns secured a 56-7 home win. This game saw Texas starting quarterback Quinn Ewers go down with a noncontact injury and be replaced by backup Arch Manning. Manning stepped up throughout the game as he came in and finished with five total touchdowns. Let's take a closer look at how the game went and discuss what happened.
The UTSA Roadrunners were just overwhelmed by the talent that the Texas Longhorns were able to throw at them, which typically happens in nonconference games between Group and Five and Power conference teams. The injury to Quinn Ewers does not appear to be significant enough to where his season is in jeopardy but Arch Manning will start the next game as Ewers recovers.

The Longhorns looked like the dominant program that they have been, as there was not a dropoff from Ewers to Manning under center. This game gave coach Steve Sarkisian and the rest of the Longhorns a glimpse into the future when Arch Manning is their full-time starting quarterback and good things continued to happen.
Below are the scoring plays that happened throughout the game:
