AUSTIN, Texas — During the spring, when Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian revealed in a media availability that redshirt freshman quarterback Arch Manning was tracked at 20 miles per hour during a scrimmage last August, there was cause for skepticism.
After all, that’s blazing speed for anyone, much less the nephew of two Hall of Fame quarterbacks who weren’t exactly known for their wheels.
On Saturday, however, Manning put all of that skepticism to rest when he pulled a zone read in the second quarter against UTSA and raced 67 yards past the Roadrunners defense for a touchdown on which he hit 20.
