  "account": "Texas football is returning to prime time next week, making its first appearance in such a slot since the third week of the season. The Longhorns will take on Ole Miss in a game that will kick off at 6:30 p.m. on October 24th at Royal-Memorial Stadium. This will be the first time Ole Miss and Texas have faced each other on prime time since 2013, with ABC set to broadcast the matchup.\n\nRanked seventh in the AP poll, Texas enters the game with a 4-1 record, boasting a 1-1 record in SEC play. Their opponent, Ole Miss (4-1, 2-1), will face Missouri this week. The matchup between ranked teams adds to the significance of the game, as does its role as a family reunion. Arch Manning, Texas quarterback, shares his grandfather and uncle with Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, both of whom were legendary Ole Miss quarterbacks whose numbers have been retired by the school.\n\nThe game serves as a chance for Arch Manning to reflect on his family's legacy at Ole Miss while representing Texas on the national stage.",
