No. 7 Texas Wins 27-10 Over UTEP Amid Offensive Struggles

The Texas Longhorns secured a 27-10 win over UTEP, marking their second consecutive victory, but offensive struggles remain a major concern. Quarterback Arch Manning delivered a disappointing performance, completing only 11 of 25 passes with one touchdown and an interception, leading to boos from the home crowd and growing frustration among fans. Despite a strong defensive showing, the offense struggled to establish a reliable running game, especially after losing key running back CJ Baxter to injury early in the game. Manning himself acknowledged his frustration and emphasized the need to return to basics and improve accuracy to help the offense move forward. The offensive line's inability to generate push in the run game exacerbated these issues, raising worries about the team's readiness for upcoming SEC play. While some individual players like receiver Ryan Wingo showed promise, the Longhorns must address these offensive shortcomings quickly to meet season expectations.
