Arch Manning throws first touchdown of career vs. SEC opponent

Arch Manning has gotten quite a bit of playing time in a Texas uniform, most notably last week against Louisiana-Monroe with his first-ever start. Another first occurred for the second-year quarterback on Saturday with Mississippi State in Austin — a touchdown throw against an SEC opponent.

After finding some success early in the game, Manning watched most of the first half from the sideline as Mississippi State controlled the clock. However, getting the ball back with around two minutes to go, Steve Sarkisian went into turbo mode.

Texas slowly made its way up the field before Manning set himself up for a big shot. The quarterback delivered a strike down the left sideline, finding DeAndre Moore for a 49-yard touchdown. A great throw from Manning with pressure in his face.

Considering the opponent, there might be some extra juice from the Manning family. Grandfather Archie and Uncle Eli both famously played for the Ole Miss Rebels. As fans of the SEC know, the Egg Bowl runs quite deep and there might not be a whole lot of love for Mississippi State. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, another Manning is hurting them in SEC play.
