Texas QB Arch Manning Looking Forward to His First Trip to Knoxville
Arch Manning and the Texas Longhorns will travel to Knoxville for an SEC matchup against the Tennessee Volunteers.
In an upcoming Saturday matchup, Texas QB Arch Manning and the No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns will head to Knoxville to face the No. 14 Tennessee Volunteers. While Peyton Manning, Arch's uncle, had a stellar collegiate career with the Volunteers, this will mark Arch's first trip to Knoxville. Manning expressed his excitement about the upcoming SEC road game, stating, "I'm definitely excited to play.
Hostile environment, SEC road game — that's what it's all about." His Texas head coach, Steve Sarkisian, confirmed that Arch had never been to Knoxville before, emphasizing the significance of this journey and family moment. So far, Manning has contributed 664 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions on the season, along with an additional 80 rushing yards.
Texas has started the season with a 3-0 record, including a comeback victory over the previously No. 1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. The Volunteers present a formidable challenge for the Longhorns, who are set to kick off at noon ET at Knoxville's Neyland Stadium.
