After holding Sam Houston to negative yards on their second drive, Manning recorded his third-straight game with a rushing touchdown after scoring on a five-yard rushing touchdown with 0:45 remaining in the first quarter, extending Texas' lead to 14-0.

Late in the second quarter, Manning scored on a two-yard run to extend Texas' lead to 31-0. Manning had two rushing touchdowns and one passing score, his second straight game with multiple rushing touchdowns and the fourth time in six starts he has accounted for at least three scores. Texas' 31-point halftime lead was its largest since leading Florida by 35 at the break in 2024.
On the Longhorns opening drive of the second half, Manning launched a 53-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Ryan Wingo, which increased the Texas lead to 38-0.
