Texas Longhorns Defeat Louisiana-Monroe 51-3

Arch Manning secured his first career win as a starter, leading No. 1 Texas to a commanding 51-3 victory over Louisiana-Monroe, improving their record to 4-0. Manning, filling in for the injured Quinn Ewers, completed 15 of 29 passes for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Running back Jaydon Blue was a standout performer, scoring four touchdowns and rushing for 124 yards, while the Texas defense limited UL Monroe to only 111 total yards. Although Manning's performance had some inconsistencies, he demonstrated resilience by bouncing back after an early interception. Texas will begin its Southeastern Conference schedule against Mississippi State next week, with hopes for Ewers' return. Coach Steve Sarkisian emphasized the importance of continuing to improve as the team transitions into SEC play.
