Arch Manning has officially arrived in college football, and Texas Longhorns fans are hyped about it.

With the Longhorns blowing out Colorado State 38-0 late in the third quarter on Saturday, the team opted to let Manning get some reps in a meaningful game. The home crowd was hugely excited about that, as Manning was treated to a brief but enthusiastic standing ovation upon entering the game.

Manning completed a 40-yard pass on his first play from scrimmage, then capped off the drive with a push pass for his first collegiate touchdown.

Though he was facing inferior opposition, Manning flashed plenty of promise during his brief cameo. He wound up going 5/6 for 95 yards with two touchdowns, the second coming on a quarterback sneak.

Manning probably won’t see a lot of playing time this season behind Quinn Ewers. However, between this and his spring game performance , Longhorns fans might have a lot to look forward to when he does get a chance.
