Texas Longhorns top UTSA with 30-6 win, offense raises concerns

The Texas Longhorns secured a 30-6 victory against UTSA on September 19, 2026, in Austin. Despite the win, the Longhorns' offense struggled, amassing 397 yards but lacking consistency, particularly in pass protection and red zone efficiency. Quarterback Arch Manning threw two touchdown passes but finished with pedestrian stats, completing 16 of 32 passes for 161 yards. The Longhorns, now 3-0, face a more significant challenge next week against No. 15 Tennessee in their SEC opener, which will test the efficiency of their offensive unit. Concerns about star edge rusher Colin Simmons emerged after he was seen in street clothes during the game.
