Texas Longhorns Rise In AP Poll After Offense-Heavy Win Over Arkansas Razorbacks

The Texas Longhorns secured a decisive 52-37 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks in Austin, bouncing back from their recent defeat to the Georgia Bulldogs. Quarterback Arch Manning played a pivotal role, passing for 389 yards and four touchdowns, rushing for another, and catching a touchdown pass from wide receiver Parker Livingstone. This win, coupled with a drop in Georgia Tech's ranking after their loss to Pittsburgh, allowed Texas to climb from No. 17 to No. 16 in the AP Top 25 rankings.

The Longhorns face a critical challenge next as they prepare to host the undefeated No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies in the Lone Star Showdown. A victory could significantly boost Texas's College Football Playoff prospects, despite their three losses. The upcoming matchup recalls last year's encounter where Texas, then ranked No. 3, defeated the No. 20 Aggies, securing a spot in the SEC Championship.
