Arch Manning throws for 305 yards and 4 touchdowns against overmatched Texas State

Texas quarterback Arch Manning, the betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2027 NFL draft, had an easy start to his season today.

Arch Manning, the highly touted Texas quarterback, threw for a remarkable 305 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant 42-7 victory over the struggling Texas State team. Manning completed 20 of his 27 passes, showcasing his exceptional skill set. However, he exited the game in the third quarter after Texas had already secured a substantial lead.

Despite the lopsided result, Manning successfully completed his season-opening test against an overmatched opponent. The impending matchup against Ohio State, a top-ranked team, will undoubtedly be a more significant challenge for the Longhorns. In contrast, last year's game against Ohio State ended in a narrow 14-7 loss for Texas.

This year, Texas appears to have a stronger squad, and Manning's seasoned experience may prove crucial as he aims to solidify his position as the best quarterback in college football.
