AUSTIN (KXAN) — In a 29-21 loss to Florida on Saturday, the Texas Longhorns got pushed around in the trenches, and the Gators did whatever they wanted to.
Arch Manning spent a lot of the game either getting up off the grass or running for his life because the Texas offensive line did not play well. Manning was sacked six times, completing 16 of 29 passes for 263 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, to go with 15 rushes for 37 yards on mostly scrambles when plays broke down.
