{"id":1247,"section":"sports","section_label":"Sports","url":"https://www.brokenews.co/sports/1247","headline":"Arch Manning's uneven night still enough as Texas tops Ole Miss","dek":"The Longhorns built a 24-3 halftime lead and held on for a 34-27 win despite three Manning turnovers.","body":"Texas beat No. 7 Ole Miss 34-27 on October 24, 2026 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial, keeping the Longhorns' playoff hopes alive even as their quarterback kept finding ways to make things interesting.\n\nArch Manning completed 18 passes for 212 yards with one passing touchdown, but he also threw two interceptions and the Rebels spent the second half clawing back after Texas raced out to a 24-3 halftime lead. Manning added two rushing touchdowns to go with the turnovers, a mixed line that has become something of a pattern for him this season.\n\nThe win came with Texas shorthanded, which makes the final score more impressive than Manning's individual night. But the three total turnovers have reignited questions about his consistency, with commentators publicly criticizing a specific bad decision from the game. As one of the most talented quarterbacks in the sport and a member of a football family that carries heavy expectations, Manning's rough patches draw outsized attention.\n\nThe result keeps Texas in playoff contention, but the broader conversation now centers on whether Manning can clean up the turnovers before they cost the Longhorns a game they can't win by 24 points at halftime.","published_at":"2026-10-25T22:03:16.796139+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Arch Manning’s struggles raising major questions about his football future","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/25/sports/arch-mannings-struggles-raising-major-questions-about-his-future/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Kirk Herbstreit Goes Nuclear on Arch Manning’s Throw in Brutal On-Air Rant","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/kirk-herbstreit-goes-nuclear-arch-182652238.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"2027 NFL Draft takeaways: The Arch Manning roller-coaster ride continues","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7721497/2026/10/25/nfl-draft-2027-arch-manning-darian-mensah/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Arch Manning looks for another win in family series as Texas faces Ole Miss","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/arch-manning-looks-another-win-095016150.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘He’s got to get more help’: Tim Tebow defends Arch Manning","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/got-more-help-tim-tebow-102023763.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"New Arch Manning Report Reveals Unexpected Update on 2027 NFL Draft Stock","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/arch-manning-report-reveals-unexpected-133659876.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Tim Tebow’s Arch Manning defense comes with stats that may concern Texas fans","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/tim-tebow-arch-manning-defense-155319942.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Texas will bench Arch Manning if he struggles vs. Ole Miss","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/texas-bench-arch-manning-struggles-185131905.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How Texas QB Arch Manning is related to Ole Miss legends Archie, Eli Manning","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/texas-qb-arch-manning-related-200039454.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Texas has reportedly ‘started to prepare’ for benching Arch Manning","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/texas-reportedly-started-prepare-benching-200315891.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘This relationship is certainly done’: ESPN star says Arch Manning ‘should leave Texas’","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/relationship-certainly-done-espn-star-204159306.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"No. 19 Texas vs. No. 7 Ole Miss live updates: Pressure is on Arch Manning to play well","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/no-19-texas-vs-no-220849009.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"‘I will make a change’: Arch Manning received a warning from Texas coach Steve Sarkisian","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/change-arch-manning-received-warning-230209679.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Texas’ Arch Manning shows he’s still Arch Manning on beautiful deep touchdown to Ryan Wingo","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/texas-arch-manning-shows-still-020641336.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Watch: Arch Manning shreds Ole Miss with two first-half touchdowns, and almost a third","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/watch-arch-manning-shreds-ole-025001708.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Arch Manning and No. 19 Texas hang on to beat No. 7 Ole Miss 34-27 after blowing 21-point lead","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/arch-manning-no-19-texas-034612855.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Arch Manning stats: How did Texas QB play in win vs Ole Miss?","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/arch-manning-stats-did-texas-033557511.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Write Arch Manning off if you must, but Texas is alive!
