Arch Manning makes Texas debut

[Colt4Life]

Arch Manning, the nephew of Indianapolis Colts legendary quarterback Peyton Manning, made his collegiate debut Friday night for the Texas Longhorns in a 57-7 win over Texas Tech. Manning, a true freshman, was on the field for two drives late in the fourth quarter. He completed 2-of-5 passes for 30 yards while adding seven rushing yards. He truly ran for 17 yards but lost 10 yards rushing on a botched snap in the red zone.

Murphy stepped in for Ewers earlier in the season when the latter dealt with a shoulder injury. 5 ruled out, 4 questionable in Colts vs. BuccaneersColts vs. Buccaneers: Key matchups to watch in Week 12Colts vs. Buccaneers: Final injury report for Week 12 Email Sign up Like this article?
