A lot of buzz and expectations surrounded Texas football entering the 2025 college football season, with Arch Manning taking over the reins of the Longhorns' offense as a full-time starter for the first time in his career.
Three weeks into the season, Manning and the Longhorns offense haven't exactly risen to meet those expectations.
Those struggles appear to have turned into frustration for Longhorn fans, as they booed the team as they headed into halftime at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 13. The Longhorns held only a 14-3 lead over UTEP. Curiously, the Miners are quarterbacked by Malachi Nelson, another 5-star quarterback from Manning's recruiting class.

Despite scoring two rushing touchdowns in the first half, Manning continued to struggle operating and moving the Longhorns offense, as he completed 5 of 16 passes for 69 yards and an interception. He finished the first half with 10 consecutive incompletions.
