Texas quarterback Arch Manning may have suffered an injury during the team’s overtime comeback at Mississippi State on Saturday.
Manning ran for 13 yards on the first play of overtime, but then left the field with possible upper body soreness. Backup quarterback Matthew Caldwell came in and threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Emmett Mosley for the 45-38 victory.

“I think his relationship with Arch was a big part of it. They have a great relationship,” Sarkisian said of Caldwell. “What a time for that guy to step in and make that pitch.”

Before the injury, Manning led the Longhorns (6-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) from a 17-point deficit in the fourth quarter, completing 29 of 46 passes for 346 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, while rushing for a touchdown.
Manning previously faced criticism for a poor performance against Kentucky last week in what has been a polarizing season for the award-winning quarterback.
