  "account": "COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Texas Longhorns made a triumphant return to football form on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, defeating the No. 18 Missouri Tigers 34-20 at Faurot Field in a demonstration of their capability to triumph in challenging away games and exhibit cohesive team play. Texas quarterback Arch Manning delivered a stellar performance, completing 28 of 38 passes for 297 yards, three touchdowns, and notching an interception-free game. The defense, led by edge rusher Colin Simmons despite an ankle injury, played one of their best bend-but-don't-break games of the season, setting up key plays and limiting Missouri's star quarterback Austin Simmons to only 66 yards on the ground. Special teams also contributed to the victory with Jonathan Cunningham's blocked punt. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian acknowledged the significance of the win, stating that the team needed to be mentally tough after facing adversity earlier in the season.",
