Before his injury, Manning led the Longhorns (6-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) back from a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit and completed 29 of 46 passes for 346 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while also rushing for a touchdown.
Manning had previously faced criticism for his poor performance against Kentucky last week in what has been a polarizing season for the prized quarterback.
