AUSTIN, Texas (TXAN 24) — The No. 17 Texas Longhorns handled business at home, rolling past Arkansas at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium behind one of the most unique performances the program has ever seen.

Arch Manning didn’t just torch the Razorbacks through the air — he threw, ran, and caught a touchdown, becoming the first quarterback in Texas history to record a TD in all three categories in the same game.

Texas controlled the line of scrimmage all night and kept the pressure on with sustained, efficient drives. The defense bottled up Arkansas’ run game and forced the Hogs into uncomfortable passing situations throughout the second half.

For the Longhorns, the win wasn’t just dominant — it showed the ceiling of what this offense looks like when Manning is in full command and the playbook is wide open.
