OFFENSE

QB – Arch Manning, 56.3

Manning continues to struggle with the basics of the passing game. He was a pedestrian 11-of-25 passing, 114 yards, one touchdown pass and one INT. His best work was with his legs, where he rushed for 51 yards and hit paydirt twice in the win. He had the third lowest grade for the entire offense.

RB – James Simon, 69.9 Christian Clark, 57.5, Jerrick Gibson, 65.1

The Texas rushing attack showed glimpses on Saturday, notably true freshman Simon, who had the third highest grade on the offense with 75 total yards on 4 ypc, all in the second half. Gibson added 64 yards on the ground as well.

WR – Parker Livingstone, 58.3, Ryan Wingo, 60.3, Kaliq Lockett, 60.2

The passing game was nonexistent for the Horns yesterday. With Manning’s struggles, the group amassed 114 yards through the air. Wingo had three catches, including a late touchdown. Livingstone was the only other receiver to catch a pass.

TE – Jack Endries, 61.2, Jordan Washington, 52.0, Spencer Shannon, 66.8

If you thought the receivers didn’t produce, take a look at the tight ends. Endries and Washington combined for two catches.

OL – Trevor Goosby, 72.1. Cole Huston, 64.9, Connor Robertson, 59.1, DJ Campbell, 70.1, Brandon Baker, 66.4, Connor Stroh, 58.0

The Longhorns offensive line helped produce 23 first downs, 341 total yards, and kept Manning clean for the most part. But the lack of push from the interior could ultimately doom this squad.
