Texas quarterback Arch Manning thought his first start for the Longhorns was "probably a C-plus" as his team coasted to a 51-3 victory over Louisiana-Monroe.

"Having so many playmakers around you, it definitely brings up the comfort level for me," he told reporters after the game. "We got a bunch of different receivers catch balls tonight. Just getting them in space and having them make plays is huge."

Filling in for an injured Quinn Ewers, the redshirt freshman went 15-of-29 for 258 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
