Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has earned a national honor after his performance in Saturday’s 34-20 comeback victory over the Missouri Tigers.
Texas celebrated Manning’s recognition Tuesday after Manning was selected as one of the Manning Award Stars of the Week for Week 10.
“Star of the Week for QB1 🤘,” Texas posted on X alongside a photo of a smiling Manning.
The Allstate Sugar Bowl included Manning among eight quarterbacks recognized after the weekend, with Notre Dame’s CJ Carr and Alabama’s Keelon Russell also honored after victories over their respective ranked opponents.

Manning completed 28 of 38 passes for 297 yards and three touchdowns without an interception against the Tigers. Texas trailed by seven points with less than two minutes left in the third quarter before rallying for its third consecutive win.
“Manning produced one of his top performances of the season, throwing for 297 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 10 Texas to a 34-20 comeback victory over No. 19 Missouri,” the Allstate Sugar Bowl wrote in its announcement.
The weekly recognition is connected to the Manning Award, which the Allstate Sugar Bowl created in 2004 to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning.

The organization began naming Stars of the Week in 2011, and since that season, 640 quarterbacks from 139 schools have received the recognition.
The Manning Award itself has not yet been decided. The finalists will be selected in early December, with the winner scheduled to be announced following the College Football Playoff National Championship.
Manning and the Longhorns next face another SEC road challenge, this time against the LSU Tigers on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
