Texas hosts ULM this Saturday, then opens Southeastern Conference play against visiting Mississippi State on Sept. 28. Then after an off week, Texas faces No. 15 Oklahoma on Oct. 12 in Dallas and hosts No. 2 Georgia on Oct. 19.

Orangebloods.com first reported Ewers' playing status.

Ewers exited Saturday's 56-7 victory over UTSA early in the second quarter due to a strained abdomen, coach Steve Sarkisian said.

Highly regarded backup Arch Manning replaced Ewers and he accounted for five touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) for the then-No. 2 Longhorns. Manning completed 9 of 12 passes for 223 yards.

Ewers completed 14 of 16 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and one interception before exiting.

"Quinn has an oblique strain, an abdomen strain," Sarkisian said after the game. "It remains to be seen, you know, the seriousness of that or the length of that, but that's what it is. We don't think it's anything structural or broken -- it was an odd play. But again, that gave Arch an opportunity to get some valuable playing time and experience."

Ewers threw for 3,479 yards and 22 touchdowns against six interceptions last season while leading Texas to a Big 12 championship and College Football Playoff appearance.

The Longhorns routed UTSA 56-7 after Arch Manning stepped in for injured star quarterback Quinn Ewers on Saturday and accounted for five touchdowns.

Texas received 35 first-place votes, 12 more than Georgia, which had been No. 1 since the preseason poll but struggled in a 13-12 win over Kentucky on Saturday. Since 2021, Georgia has made 39 appearances at No. 1.

The rest of the top five -- Ohio State, Alabama and Ole Miss -- remained unchanged, but Tennessee moved up to No. 6, switching places with No. 7 Missouri.

Rounding out the top 10, Miami moved up two spots to No. 8, Oregon remained No. 9 and Penn State dropped to No. 10.

Just like last week, the SEC held six of the top seven spots in the poll. The conference has nine teams in the Top 25, followed by seven for the Big Ten.

Boston College had a short stay in the Top 25, losing to Missouri after joining the poll for the first time since 2018. With a loss to Kansas State, Arizona also fell out of the rankings.

At No. 24, Illinois makes its first appearance this season, with Texas A&M back in at No. 25 after defeating Florida on the road.

The Gators fell to 1-2 Saturday after their 33-20 home loss to Texas A&M in Gainesville, where home fans started to file out before the end of the third quarter.

Per USA Today, Florida would owe Napier approximately $26 million should they fire him. However, the number could be reduced because of an ongoing NCAA investigation into -- and Napier's role in -- the recruitment of Jaden Rashada, according to the report.

The Gators lost their opener to rival Miami 41-17 before defeating FCS program Samford 45-7.

Dating to last season, Florida has lost seven straight games to power-conference opponents and has given up an average of 37.9 points per game and scored 24.9.

Florida hired Napier before the 2022 season, and he's posted a 12-16 record.

Now 45, Napier was seen as a young, emerging coach after four seasons at Louisiana, where his teams were 40-12 and he was a two-time winner of Sun Belt Coach of the Year. His 2020 team ended the season ranked No. 15 in the nation, with the Ragin' Cajuns finishing No. 16 the following season.

At Florida, Napier has posted records of 6-7 and 5-7 in the first two seasons, respectively, with 3-5 marks in the Southeastern Conference each season. Bowl-eligible in 2022, they lost 30-3 to Oregon State in the Las Vegas Bowl.

Georgia (3-0, 1-0 SEC) won its 42nd straight regular-season game as Carson Beck completed 15 of 24 passes for 160 yards, while Dominic Lovett caught six passes for 89 yards in the Bulldogs' SEC opener.

Former Georgia quarterback Brock Vandagriff was 14 of 27 for 114 yards, while Demie Sumo-Karngbaye ran for a game-high 98 yards as Kentucky (1-2, 0-2) dropped its second straight game and its 15th consecutive game to Georgia. Alex Raynor was 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts, accounting for all of Kentucky's scoring.

After a Kentucky punt late in the third, Etienne accounted for 51 of Georgia's 68 yards on the next drive, setting up Branson Robinson's 3-yard rushing score, giving Georgia a 13-9 lead with 12:20 remaining in the game.

No. 2 Texas 56, UTSA 7

Arch Manning passed for four touchdowns and ran 67 yards for another in relief of the injured Quinn Ewers as the Longhorns flew past the Roadrunners in Austin, Texas.

Manning went 9 of 12 for 223 yards in about two quarters of play in the most extensive action of the highly touted redshirt freshman's career as the Longhorns (3-0) dominated from start to finish. Ewers was 14 of 16 passing for 185 yards, two TDs and an interception in just over a quarter of play before sustaining a strained abdomen.

Owen McCown led UTSA (1-2) with 132 yards passing while Robert Henry Jr. had 65 yards rushing and a touchdown on six carries.

Van Dyke was replaced by redshirt sophomore Braedyn Locke, who completed 13 of 26 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown. Chez Mellusi ran for 66 yards on 11 carries.

No. 5 Ole Miss 40, Wake Forest 6

Jaxson Dart had two scoring passes and a touchdown run and Henry Parrish Jr. ran for two touchdowns as the Rebels rode a strong start against the Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Ole Miss (3-0) scored 20 first-quarter points and that set the tone for another comfortable victory. Dart completed 26 of 34 passes for 377 yards with an interception. Parrish gained 148 yards on the ground on 23 carries.

Hank Bachmeier was 22-of-39 passing for 239 yards but couldn't direct Wake Forest to the end zone. The Demon Deacons (1-2) only scored on a pair of Matthew Dennis field goals.

No. 6 Missouri 27, No. 24 Boston College 21

No. 10 Miami 62, Ball State 0

Cam Ward passed for 346 yards and a career-high five touchdowns as the Hurricanes blasted the Cardinals in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Lightning in the area on Saturday delayed the start of the game by 2 1/2 hours, but that didn't stop Miami (3-0), which set a school record with 750 yards of total offense.

Utah State's Bryson Barnes threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns in his first game against his former team. Barnes also tossed a pair of interceptions. The Aggies (1-2) got 115 rushing yards on 19 touches from Rahsul Faison.

No. 13 Oklahoma State 45, Tulsa 10

Alan Bowman threw for 396 yards and five touchdowns as the Cowboys roared out to a 28-point halftime lead on their way to a road rout of the Golden Hurricane.

Bowman completed 24 of 31 passes with an interception as the Cowboys improved to 3-0. Oklahoma State outgained the Golden Hurricane 560-352 in its final nonconference tune-up before opening Big 12 play next week at home against Utah.

Kirk Francis hit 14 of 31 passes for 153 yards with an interception for Tulsa (1-2), which came into the contest averaging 43 points per game. The aggressive Cowboys notched seven tackles for loss, including a pair of sacks, and permitted just 5 of 16 third-down conversions.

No. 15 Oklahoma 34, Tulane 19

Jackson Arnold threw for 169 yards and a touchdown and ran for 97 yards and two scores for the Sooners in Norman, Okla.

Oklahoma was in a precarious position in the fourth after Tulane pulled within five. But then Billy Bowman Jr. pulled down a redirected Darian Mensah pass for an interception, giving Oklahoma the ball in Tulane territory.

Then the Sooners (3-0), who had come up empty on four consecutive drives, finally showed some life. Arnold broke off a 24-yard touchdown run to give Oklahoma some breathing room. Darian Mensah was 14-of-32 passing for 166 yards, a touchdown and an interception for the Green Wave (1-2).

The Gamecocks (2-1, 1-1) passed for just 155 yards as starting quarterback LaNorris Sellers (9-for-16 passing, 113 yards) injured his right ankle on the second-to-last play of the first half and played just one possession in the second half.

No. 18 Notre Dame 66, Purdue 7

Riley Leonard rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns, Jeremiyah Love rushed for 109 yards and another score, and the Fighting Irish crushed the Boilermakers in West Lafayette, Ind.

TCU kicker Kyle Lemmermann's 58-yard field-goal attempt was wide right on the final play of the game.

The Knights (3-0, 1-0 Big 12) took over at their own 28 with 3:14 remaining in the fourth quarter and converted two third-down plays on the game-winning drive. Jefferson, an Arkansas transfer, finished 13-for-22 passing for 230 yards and three touchdowns.

UCF relied on the ground game and running back RJ Harvey, who had 180 yards and two scores on 29 carries, while the Horned Frogs (2-1, 0-1) did most of their damage through the air. Josh Hoover threw for four touchdowns and had 402 yards on 35-of-52 passing for TCU, and wide receiver Jack Bech had nine catches for a career-high 200 yards to go along with a TD.

The Knights overcame a strong showing from the Horned Frogs' special teams. Caleb Fox deflected a 47-yard field-goal attempt by UCF kicker Colton Boomer to preserve a 7-0 TCU lead in the first quarter. On the second-to-last play of the first half -- with TCU ahead 21-7 -- LaMareon James came in from the edge to block a Boomer 27-yard field-goal try.

The Horned Frogs also blocked an extra-point attempt in the third quarter.

TCU controlled the first half. Hoover threw a 14-yard TD pass to Eric McAlister to open the scoring and added touchdown passes of 18- and 16-yards to Savion Williams before the break.

Hoover connected for his fourth touchdown pass of the night on the Horned Frogs' first drive of the second half, hitting Bech for a 50-yard bomb to make it 28-7 TCU.

But UCF didn't blink. Harvey took a direct snap and went 1 yard for a score to make it 28-13 with 9:36 remaining in the third quarter. After a Horned Frogs field goal made it 31-13, the Knights went 75 yards in three plays, with Jefferson finding Hudson for a 27-yard scoring strike.

Following a TCU punt, UCF drove 80 yards, with Harvey scoring on the ground from 27 yards out and taking a shovel pass to convert a two-point conversion that pulled the Knights within 31-28 with 13:38 left in the fourth quarter.

TCU upped the lead to 34-28 on a 24-yard field goal by Lemmermann with 8:44 left.

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi completed 22-of-39 passes for 209 yards and two interceptions for CSU (1-2).

Staked to a 14-3 first half lead, the Colorado defense forced turnovers on the Rams' first three second-half possessions.

After Colorado State's defense forced a Colorado punt to start the third, Fowler-Nicolosi was flushed from the pocket, threw across the field and was intercepted by Preston Hodge. With a short field, the Buffaloes needed just two plays to take a 21-3 lead on Hunter's 2-yard touchdown catch.

The following 16-play CSU drive was thwarted on first and goal from the 4-yard line as LaVonta Bentley forced and recovered a fumble before the ball hit the ground. The teams traded turnovers as the Rams' Chase Wilson recovered an Isaiah Augustave fumble.

Hunter intercepted a fourth-down pass by Nicolosi and five plays later, capped a five play, 55-yard drive with a 21-yard touchdown catch and a 28-3 lead for Colorado.

A 5-yard touchdown run by the Rams' Justin Marshall in the fourth made the score 28-9. B.J. Green recovered a fumble late in the fourth -- the Rams' fourth turnover.

Colorado State took a 3-0 lead when Jordan Noyes capped an eight-play, 48-yard drive with a 25-yard field goal. It was the Rams' only first-half points, as their other five drives resulted in four punts and a missed field goal.

A roughing-the-passer penalty aided the Buffaloes' 12-play, 85-yard second-quarter drive that culminated in a 4-yard touchdown pass from Sanders to Wester and a 7-3 lead for Colorado.

Another mid-drive CSU penalty, a 15-yard facemask, gave Colorado extra yardage and set up Sanders' 34-yard touchdown pass to Wester for a 14-3 Buffaloes lead.

Colorado had 109 yards rushing after only notching 16 last week in a loss at Nebraska.

Robertson completed 18 of 24 passes and ran for a touchdown as Baylor (2-1) rebounded from a Big 12 loss last week at then-No. 11 Utah, a game in which starting quarterback Dequan Finn suffered a rib injury.

Bryson Washington rushed for 106 yards on 12 carries and scored the first touchdown of his college career for the Bears. Richard Reese added 47 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

Baylor rolled up 193 yards and didn't punt in the first half against Air Force (1-2). But the three of the Bears' drives ended in lost fumbles.

After a sloppy first half, Baylor scored on its first four possessions of the second half to tally 25 unanswered points.

The pass-challenged offense of the Falcons didn't have a completion until the final minute of the third quarter. Air Force starting quarterback John Busha went 0-for-5 passing before he was relieved by Quentin Hayes.

The Bears limited the Falcons to 218 total yards. In the third quarter, Air Force's potent rushing attack generated just 12 yards. Linebacker Matt Jones led Baylor with 11 tackles.

Isaiah Hankins kicked field goals of 51 and 46 yards in the first half to give the Bears a 6-3 lead. After that, it was all Baylor.

The Bears opened the second half with a 75-yard drive. Washington capped the drive with a 19-yard touchdown run for a 13-3 lead.

A 6-yard touchdown run by Sawyer capped a 64-yard march and put Baylor up 20-3.

On Air Force's ensuing possession, Brooks Miller forced Busha to fumble and Devonte Tezino recovered to set up another Hankins field goal that put Baylor up 23-3.

Reese completed the scoring with a 28-yard touchdown run.

"I thought he was excellent," Nebraska coach Matt Rhule said of Raiola, who connected on 17 of his 23 attempts.

The Cornhuskers (3-0) scored touchdowns on their first three possessions to win their first game as a ranked team since 2019. Dante Dowdell rushed six times for 55 yards as Nebraska finished with 423 total yards to improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2016.

For Northern Iowa (2-1), which entered the night ranked 21st in the FCS poll, quarterback Aidan Dunne completed 13 of 25 passes for 117 yards and rushed for a team-high 49 yards before getting knocked out of the game with 10 minutes to go.

The Panthers dominated time of possession (38:07), but their drives repeatedly came up short due to a combination of penalties (nine for 95 yards) and Nebraska's bend-but-don't-break defense.

The Cornhuskers produced a touchdown on its initial possession for the third week in a row. Raiola capped the Huskers' 75-yard drive with a 24-yard touchdown pass to fellow freshman Carter Nelson, who made the catch over the middle at the 15-yard line and sprinted into the end zone.

Northern Iowa responded with a 10-minute, 8-second drive that bogged down in the red zone. Caden Palmer converted a 31-yard field goal to pull the Panthers within 7-3 at the 1:32 mark of the first quarter.

Raiola orchestrated another 75-yard scoring drive on Nebraska's next possession. Faced with third-and-9, he found Isaiah Neyor open over the middle for an 18-yard score that gave the Huskers a 14-3 lead with 13:04 to go in the first half.

Nebraska shook it up on its third drive by zipping 80 yards in just four plays for another score. Raiola's 59-yard strike to Jaylen Lloyd set up Jacory Barney Jr.'s 10-yard end-around that pushed the lead to 21-3 with 6:51 left.

Northern Iowa cranked up its running game for a lengthy drive to start the second half, but Dunne overthrew an open receiver on play-action and Nebraska safety Malcolm Hartzog Jr. picked it off.

That turnover led to Tristan Alvano's 31-yard field goal at 6:17 of the third to extend Nebraska's margin to 24-3. Alvano booted a 21-yarder near the end of the third quarter, then Emmett Johnson closed the scoring by bouncing outside and outracing UNI's secondary for a 36-yard score with 4:31 to play.

Northern Iowa forced Raiola's first career interception early in the fourth quarter when defensive back Fletcher Marshall Jr. wrenched the ball from Lloyd as they leaped for a deep pass.

Indiana (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) wasted little time taking control in its first visit to Rose Bowl Stadium since 1968. Rourke threw touchdown passes of three yards to Miles Cross and 14 yards to Ke'Shawn Williams just 63 seconds apart midway through the first quarter.

The Hoosiers' advantage never dipped below double digits the rest of the way.

Rourke was electric, spreading the ball around to seven different pass-catchers, four of whom hauled in at least four receptions. Cross led Indiana with six catches for 90 yards, and Williams scored touchdowns on two of his three catches.

The second scoring connection between Rourke and Williams came in the third quarter to effectively put UCLA away.

After Indiana's lead rose to 21-0 on Justice Ellison's goal-line touchdown carry, capping a 12-play, 90-yard scoring drive, the Bruins scored 10 unanswered points. T.J. Harden accounted for the lone UCLA touchdown with a one-yard plunge just before halftime.

With the Bruins (1-1, 0-1) threatening, Indiana went on a nine-play, 87-yard drive that culminated in Rourke's three-yard touchdown toss to Williams. Indiana piled on further with a 23-yard Rourke scoring pass to Omar Cooper Jr. and Elijah Green's 14-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

The Hoosiers' defense did its part to contribute to the blowout, holding UCLA to 238 total yards and forcing a pair of turnovers. The first came when Mikail Kamara recovered an Ethan Garbers fumble deep in Bruins territory, setting up Indiana's second touchdown of the evening.

Amare Ferrell intercepted Garbers in the fourth quarter to put an exclamation point on Indiana's emphatic conference win.

Garbers finished 14-of-23 for 137 yards. Harden led the Bruins in both rushing and receiving, gaining 48 yards on 12 carries and 41 yards on four receptions.

UCLA linebacker Kain Medrano made three tackles for loss.

Mississippi State (2-1) was a 10-point favorite in the first meeting between the programs.

Toledo (3-0) achieved its second road victory against an SEC school. The Rockets, 2-4 against the SEC, beat Arkansas at Little Rock, Ark., in 2015.

Toledo established control in its first possession when it drove 70 yards in 12 plays, capped with Gleason's 4-yard touchdown pass to Junior Vandeross III.

Mississippi State threatened to score at the end of the first half but came up short after coach Jeff Lebby elected to go for a touchdown rather than a field goal with the ball on the Rocket 12 with one second left.

Blake Shapen's pass in the end zone was intercepted by Avery Smith.

Shapen, a fifth-year senior who is a transfer from Baylor, completed 28 of 39 pass attempts for 319 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

Toledo increased its lead early in the third quarter after Mississippi State turned the ball over on downs at its 37.

Davon Booth was stopped for no gain by Toledo's Lance Dixon and Cavon Butler on the fourth-and-1 attempt.

Mississippi State answered on its next possession, putting together a 13-play, 72-yard drive that was capped with a 9-yard touchdown pass from Shapen to Mario Craver.

The Bulldogs cut the lead to 38-17 with 6:11 left after an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Shapen's 1-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Coleman Jr.

Devon Dampier completed 22 of 44 passes for 291 yards and a touchdown to lead the Lobos (0-3). Dampier was picked off twice.

Auburn received the second-half kickoff and drove to Brown's 3-yard touchdown pass to Micah Riley that gave the Tigers a 24-13 lead.

New Mexico missed a scoring opportunity later in the fourth after Auburn muffed a punt and the Lobos gained possession at the Tigers 32, as the visitors ended up turning the ball over on downs.

Auburn's Damari Alston soon ran 22 yards for a touchdown that completed the scoring with 5:51 remaining.

On the first possession of the game, New Mexico drove to Luke Drzewiecki's 33-yard field goal, and Auburn answered on the ensuing drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Brown to Camden Brown for a 7-3 lead.

NaQuari Rogers' 3-yard scoring run gave the Lobos the lead before Hunter's 2-yard touchdown run gave Auburn a 14-10 edge at the end of the first quarter.

Towns McGough kicked a 24-yard field goal for the Tigers, but Drzewiecki's 21-yard field goal trimmed Auburn's lead to 17-13.

Drzewiecki missed a 37-yard field-goal attempt and Auburn blew a scoring opportunity when it lost a fumble at the Lobos 15, keeping the score at 17-13 at halftime.

After the Commodores punted on their first possession of the second half, Veilleux fired a touchdown to a diving Rykem Laney to extend the lead to 22-10.

After a Georgia State punt, Bryan Longwell picked Veilleux and returned it to the Panthers 37, setting up an 18-yard Pavia-to-Eli Stowers touchdown pass with 14:07 remaining.

But the Panthers answered with Veilleux's 18-yard touchdown run with 11:42 left.

Vanderbilt drove to the Panthers 25 but Swint broke up a fourth-down pass at the 20.

Vanderbilt scored touchdowns with 2:29 and 1:14 left on short runs by AJ Newberry and Sedrick Alexander but couldn't hold the Panthers on the ensuing drive.

Georgia State led 12-10 at the half thanks to two huge Vanderbilt mistakes.

Seven plays later, Rickman gave Georgia State a 3-0 lead with a 24-yard field goal.

Vanderbilt's Brock Taylor hit a 28-yard field goal with 12:28 left in the second quarter.

Veilleux hit an open Ted Hurst for a 33-yard touchdown on Georgia State's next possession.

Pavia struck back just before half, hitting Newberry on a wheel route for 53 yards to the GSU 8. Pavia then found an open Junior Sherrill to cut the deficit to two with 46 seconds left.

Manning went 9 of 12 for 223 yards in about two quarters of play in the most extensive action of the highly touted redshirt freshman's career as the Longhorns (3-0) dominated from start to finish.

Ewers was 14 of 16 passing for 185 yards, two TDs and an interception in just over a quarter of play before sustaining a strained abdomen. He spent about 15 minutes in the Longhorns' medical tent before going to the Texas locker room and returning to the field in street clothes before halftime.

That set the stage for Manning, and he impressed. Texas rang up a 614-260 advantage in total yardage.

Owen McCown led UTSA (1-2) with 132 yards passing while Robert Henry Jr. had 65 yards rushing on six carries.

Ewers led the Longhorns to a pair of touchdown drives in the first quarter while connecting with eight different receivers. The first ended in a 7-yard TD pass to Isaiah Bond with 9:27 left in the quarter and he later tossed a 19-yard scoring strike to Johntay Cook II and a 14-0 lead with six seconds remaining.

Ewers left the game early in the second quarter with a strained abdomen one snap after throwing a 49-yard pass to tight end Gunnar Helm.

The Longhorns added to their lead early in the fourth quarter with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Manning to Cook and finished the scoring with a 30-yard pick-six by defensive end Ethan Burke.

Ewers, a leading Heisman Trophy candidate, started to limp off the field before dropping to the turf and calling over to the sideline with 12:19 left in the first half. He was taken to the medical tent for evaluation and was soon ruled out of the contest.

Ewers went to the locker room and returned to the sideline in street clothes.

Ewers completed 14 of 16 passes for 185 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for No. 2 Texas before exiting.

Highly regarded backup Arch Manning replaced Ewers and tossed a 19-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Moore Jr. on his first play.

On Texas' next possession, Manning scored on a 67-yard touchdown run on the second play to give the Longhorns a 28-7 lead.
