Texas quarterback Arch Manning suffered a concussion in the Longhorns’ overtime win against Mississippi State on Oct. 25, according to ESPN.
Manning, who led a 17-point comeback in the fourth quarter, passed for 346 yards with three touchdowns to an interception while rushing for another score. Manning exited the game after taking a hard hit on a 13-yard scramble in the overtime period.
Manning dove for extra yards and was hit by two Mississippi State defenders, one being defensive lineman Kedrick Bingley-Jones. Manning then went into the medical tent.
Texas backup Matthew Caldwell entered the game and threw a game-winning touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley V to finish the comeback.
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian didn’t offer an update on Manning after the game and said they’d find out more after returning home.
It’s a tough break for Manning, whose status for Texas’ upcoming home game against Vanderbilt could be in jeopardy. The former five-star quarterback is coming off perhaps his best performance with the Longhorns.
Texas’ offense has mostly struggled in 2025, but Manning came through in the fourth quarter against the Bulldogs. He completed 12-of-20 passes for 166 yards and two touchdowns in the final period before overtime.
Manning has completed 143 of 235 passing (60.9%) for 1,795 yards with 15 touchdowns to six interceptions this season, while rushing for 199 yards and six scores on 68 carries.
