No. 11 Texas routs Mississippi State 31-3

No. 11 Texas beat Mississippi State 31-3 in Austin, earning its second straight win as Arch Manning threw three touchdown passes and completed 16 of 20 attempts for 220 yards. The Longhorns’ defense dominated, recording seven sacks and forcing two fumbles; linebacker Rasheem Biles had three sacks, and defensive lineman Maraad Watson returned a fumble 61 yards for a touchdown. Texas did show a weakness on offense, managing just 60 rushing yards, though the team ended its recent third-quarter scoring drought with a touchdown after halftime. Mississippi State, which has lost four straight, was further hampered by quarterback injuries, including AJ Swann leaving the game after a hit that led to Watson’s touchdown.
