Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning had a solid first start of his collegiate career, but Eli Manning was quick to give himself a pat on the back.

But it went a step further. The Texas offense was more vertical against ULM than it was in any other game of Sarkisian's tenure except for one. In a loss to Arkansas in 2021 that saw the Longhorns chasing an early two-score deficit, Hudson Card posted an average depth of target of 16.7 yards.
