Overview

  • No. 21 Texas (4-2) visits Kentucky on Saturday with kickoff at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN in the Longhorns' seventh game of the season.
  • Manning was not listed on the Week 8 injury report after public speculation about a possible issue, and Steve Sarkisian has repeatedly denied any injury.
  • Former Heisman winner Matt Leinart questioned whether Manning has been playing through something, citing recent movement that looked off.
  • Manning is coming off a 23-6 win over Oklahoma in which he went 21-of-27 for 166 yards with one touchdown and added 34 rushing yards.
  • Through six games he has completed 63% of his passes for 1,317 yards with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions, and betting previews project Texas as a clear favorite over a struggling Kentucky defense.
