  "account": "Texas quarterback Arch Manning concluded a difficult week with a subpar performance against UTSA. The Heisman Trophy contender completed 161 yards and two touchdowns as Texas secured a 30-6 victory at Royal-Memorial Stadium on Saturday. Manning completed half of his 32 attempts, a completion rate that marked his lowest of the season, but he did not turn the ball over. The game marked the end of a week in which Manning apologized for an insensitive comment he made to the media regarding an AI-generated video featuring Texas coach Steve Sarkisian slapping ESPN reporter Holly Rowe. While avoiding any mention of his off-field controversy during the postgame availability, Manning admitted that his performance was not good enough and that he didn't play well. Offensively, Texas struggled with sloppiness and needed to improve if they wished to defeat Tennessee in their upcoming SEC opener.",
  "summary": "Arch Manning threw for 161 yards and two touchdowns as No. 1 Texas earned a 30-6 win over UTSA. That performance closed out a week in which Manning also made off-field headlines.",
