Texas quarterback Arch Manning’s mother was trending on social media after his big game for the Longhorns this weekend.
Manning got an opportunity to play some meaningful football for Texas after starter Quinn Ewers went down injured against UTSA on Saturday evening.
He threw for 223 yards and four touchdowns, turning on the afterburners for a 67-yard run which went into the record books as the longest by a Texas QB since Vince Young.

While the performance hardly means he will take over as the starter, excitement is brimming, with fans now looking forward to what he will offer the Longhorns as QB1 next season.
Arch Manning’s Mother Was Turning Heads
While Manning was the talk of the night, his mother also went viral online after his dad, Cooper Manning, joked that the youngster got his speed from her.
“Definitely got his speed from mom,” he wrote as the caption to an Instagram photo showing the three of them.

Meanwhile, Saturday’s win left Texas boasting a 3-0 record, and Paul Finebaum was singing Manning’s praises after the monster performance.
“Book it. Arch Manning is going to win the Heisman. I am in on that,” Finebaum said, per Awful Announcing.
Paul Finebaum says Arch Manning will be the first member of the Manning family to win the Heisman Trophy.
“Book it. Arch Manning is going to win the Heisman. I am in on that. His granddad and Peyton probably should have won it and Arch will… I don’t know if he’ll win it this… pic.twitter.com/iZneeHfa5P

“By the way, his granddad and Peyton probably should have won it, and Arch will. Can you imagine? He’s replacing a Heisman favorite right now. I don’t know if he’ll win it this year, but Arch Manning will definitely win the Heisman at Texas.”
