Arch Manning leads Texas Longhorns to narrow win over Ole Miss

Arch Manning guided the Texas Longhorns to a 34-27 victory against Ole Miss on October 24, 2026, showcasing a more confident and fiery demeanor. After two consecutive losses marked by critical turnovers, Manning's performance reflected a shift as head coach Steve Sarkisian emphasized the need for his quarterback to reclaim his edge. Manning recorded his first two rushing touchdowns of the season and had a notable 50-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo. The Longhorns surged to a 24-3 lead at halftime, but Manning's inconsistency resurfaced with two interceptions during the game. The win may help restore momentum for a Texas team struggling to find consistency in recent weeks.
