Arch Manning's Big Day: A Star Shines Bright in Texas vs. Arkansas

A Triple-Threat Performance

Arch Manning, the young quarterback from Texas, made a big splash in the game against Arkansas. He did something special—he scored touchdowns in three different ways:

• Caught a pass for a touchdown.
• Ran for a score.
• Threw a long touchdown pass.

This was a big deal because it showed how talented he is.

The First Touchdown: A Trick Play

First, Manning caught a pass for a touchdown. This was his first catch in college. It was a trick play. He was wide open in the end zone. His teammate, Parker Livingstone, threw him the ball. This put Texas ahead 14-6.

The Second Touchdown: A Long Bomb

Next, Manning threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Livingstone. This made the score 21-13. It was a big play that showed his arm strength and accuracy.

The Third Touchdown: A Rush for the End Zone

Then, Manning ran for a touchdown in the second half. This gave Texas a 31-20 lead. It was his 11th rushing touchdown of his career. This showed that he can do it all on the field.

A Rare Achievement

Manning's performance was impressive. He did something that only one other player had done in college football that season. He scored a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in the same game.

A Historic Rivalry Renewed

The game was also special because it was the second time Texas and Arkansas played in the SEC. They used to play often in the Southwest Conference. But they didn't play much in the 2000s. Now, they are rivals again in the SEC.

A Big Moment for Manning

This game was a big moment for Manning. It showed that he is a star on the rise. He can do it all on the field. He can catch, run, and throw for touchdowns. This is what makes him special.
