What is the story about?
AUSTIN — To avoid the program’s first three-game losing streak since 2021, the No. 19 Texas Longhorns need to beat the No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
That will require a better performance from Texas senior quarterback Arch Manning, who is in danger of getting benched if he struggles early in the game, the type of decision that head coach Steve Sarkisian rarely makes with his starter.
Pregame player availability report
Two players came off the pregame injury report for Texas — sophomore
offensive lineman Jackson Christian (questionable) and freshman running back Derrek Cooper (probable) — but junior safety Kobe Black was added as a game-time decision.
