Coach Steve Sarkisian’s No. 19 Texas Longhorns welcomed the No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels to Darrell K Royal Texas-Memorial Stadium that made for the perfect backdrop for Arch Manning to find Ryan Wingo for a long TD pass. Tim Tebow and another NFL QB broke down Manning’s struggles ahead of the game and he responded, leading his team to a 24-17 lead headed toward the fourth quarter.
Things took a turn for the worse on the injury front as Cam Coleman laid out for a pass and hit the turf hard. He needed help getting off the field and caused concern among Longhorns fans because of the injury.
Coleman went to the locker room according to ‘Horns insider Michael Shapiro, and was not seen on the sideline as play continued heading toward the final quarter.

Manning had nearly 200 yards passing heading into the fourth with Raleek Brown on the board as the Longhorns’ leading rusher. Brown had 12 carries for 57 yards while Wingo led the Longhorns in receiving with six catches for 108 yards and a touchdown.
The Longhorns’ defense was the story of the first half as they put the clamps on Ole Miss Heisman contender Trinidad Chambliss. Chambliss attempted to bring his Rebels back but wasn’t especially effective with the game winding down. He had 12 completions out of 26 attempts for 91 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions as Pete Golding’s team struggled to keep pace with the high-powered Arch Manning-led offensive attack in Austin.
The Longhorns looked likely to secure the win, but there was still plenty of game left to go as fans continued to watch in Texas.
