Arch Manning throws four touchdowns in Texas victory over Colorado State
Summary

Texas quarterback Arch Manning recovered from a pregame fall in the tunnel to lead the Longhorns to a 59-7 win over Colorado State. Manning tripped over a camera operator during team introductions while navigating through smoke, but he sustained no injuries during the incident. He finished the game 20-of-27 for 305 yards and four touchdowns, despite throwing one interception. Wide receiver Ryan Wingo recorded 121 yards and a touchdown on seven catches, while transfer running backs Hollywood Smothers and Raleek Brown contributed to the offense. The victory was marred only by an injury to freshman running back Derrek Cooper, who left the game in the first half and did not return. The Longhorns look to carry this offensive momentum into their upcoming schedule.
