  "account": "Texas quarterback Arch Manning suffered a fall during the pregame tunnel entrance before the Texas Longhorns and Texas State Bobcats college football game on September 5, 2026. The incident, captured on video by social media users, showed Manning stumbling in the smoke-filled tunnel as he ran onto the field with his teammates. Despite the mishap, Manning later joked about his first \"hit\" during the game, which he held onto as a positive. He went on to throw for 305 yards and three touchdowns, leading his team to a 59-7 victory. Manning's recovery from the fall was quick, and he appeared fine after the incident. The Longhorns will face Ohio State in a rematch on September 6, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in Austin.",
