    The No. 3 Texas Longhorns made the biggest statement of the young 2024 college football season on Saturday with their blowout win over the No. 10 Michigan Wolverines.

    They went into the house of the defending champions and trounced them by 19 points, winning by a score of 31-12. While starting quarterback Quinn Ewers certainly earned himself a ton of Heisman buzz for his performance, he wasn't the only Texas signal caller to get some social media love.

    His backup, Arch Manning, was also the talk of social media thanks to a locker room photo of Texas' four quarterbacks that has amassed over one million views.

    "Am I....a Texas fan now," one fan asked after seeing the picture.

    "THESE longhorns are SEC ready đŸ€˜đŸœ," wrote another.

    "That Archie Manning stance is devious," joked another user.

    "manning going #1 dawg," added another fan.

    Despite the blowout win, Manning didn't get into the game on Saturday like he did in Week 1. A decision by head coach Steve Sarkisian that irked many fans, as social media was flooded with posts clamoring for Manning to get into the game.

    In Texas' Week 1 win against Colorado State, Manning completed 5-of-6 passes for 95 yards. He also notched two touchdowns, one on the air and the other on the ground.

    Following the win, Texas moved up to No. 2 in the AP Poll , and ESPN's FPI also bumped them up to the No. 1 spot.

    There is a chance that fans will see Manning in Texas' Week 3 game, as they are set to host in-state foe UTSA for a game they are expected to win by a significant margin in. According to FanDuel the Longhorns are 32.5-point favorites, which means if all goes right we should see a bit more of Manning.
