Recap

Texas dominated UTSA from start to finish, with Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning combining to put on an offensive clinic in front of the home crowd. The Longhorns struck early with touchdown passes to Isaiah Bond and Johntay Cook II in the first quarter, then extended their lead through the second quarter with Manning entering the game and throwing a touchdown to DeAndre Moore Jr. before adding a 67-yard scoring run. UTSA managed only a 53-yard Robert Henry touchdown run to briefly answer, and while they moved the ball occasionally, they couldn't maintain any sustained offensive rhythm. Manning finished the rout with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo in the third quarter and another score to Cook in the fourth, capping a 56-7 victory that saw Texas control the line of scrimmage and the clock throughout.

Ewers' touchdown pass to Isaiah Bond on the opening drive set the tone early for Texas's dominance
Arch Manning's 67-yard scoring run in the second quarter broke the game wide open and showcased the Longhorns' offensive depth
Manning's 75-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Wingo in the third quarter put the game completely out of reach
An interception return for a touchdown by Ethan Burke in the fourth quarter capped a defensive performance that limited UTSA to just 260 total yards
