Manning was 11-of-25 with 114 passing yards, a touchdown pass and an eavesdropping. He had 51 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.
He told journalists after the game he knew he had to play better.
“I have to play better,” he said via ESPN. “A lot of quarterbacks – many players – will be good. I know I’m better than this.”
While the offense had 23 first downturns in the game, Longhorns were only 5-of-16 on the third down and 2-of-5 on the fourth down.

Still, Texas wide receiving Ryan Wingo expressed his support in the much -proclaimed quarterback.
“Arch is a big quarterback. The same big quarterback,” Wingo said via on3 sports. “Our chemistry is not down. I think it improves, especially later in the game, like everyone else in the country.”
Manning has not lived up to the wild expectations set to him before the season started. However, Texas has entered the victory column in back-to-back weeks, and the team lost only to Ohio State at a touchdown.
