With Ewers still in the medical tent, Manning sprinted past the UTSA defense for a highlight-reel 67-yard rushing touchdown that extended Texas' lead to 28-7."He's got great work ethic, but I think the biggest thing is he's got a great appreciation for too and what has gone through to get to this point," Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said of Manning. "They've got great rapport with one another, great support with one another.
Manning tossed his first-career touchdown in the season opener against Colorado State. He also added a one-yard rushing score. He now has four total touchdowns to his name this season and will need to continue producting for Texas if Ewers misses time with the injury.
