Texas triage? 2 Longhorns defenders, more offensive players exit Week 9 game with injury

The Texas Longhorns football team suffered multiple injuries during their Week 9 victory over Mississippi State on Halloween night. Quarterback Arch Manning left the game in the second quarter after taking several hits, despite registering three touchdown passes and four incompletions. Wide receiver Cam Coleman exited the game in the second quarter and did not return due to an apparent shoulder injury.

Running back Hollywood Smothers also left the game in the fourth quarter after holding both of his legs on the turf. In addition to these offensive players, defensive backs Graceson Littleton and Kade Phillips also left the game due to injury, removing two starters from the defense. Coach Steve Sarkisian emphasized the importance of getting these players back as soon as possible, as their return would significantly improve the team's performance.
