Fri Sep 20 11:44:47 UTC 2024: ## Texas Longhorns Set to Face Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks in a Mismatch
**Austin, Texas** – The undefeated and top-ranked Texas Longhorns (3-0) are set to face off against the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks (2-0) on Saturday at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. While the Longhorns are favored by a significant 44.5 points, this game marks a significant milestone for Texas: the first start for redshirt freshman quarterback Arch Manning.
Manning, a member of the renowned Manning family, will be filling in for the injured Quinn Ewers. He impressed in his relief appearance last week, throwing for 223 yards and four touchdowns. The Warhawks, despite their underdog status, have shown surprising strength, defeating both Jackson State and UAB in their opening games.
Experts are predicting a comfortable victory for Texas, with the spread leaning heavily in their favor. The model at SportsLine, which has a proven track record of success in college football predictions, is also favoring the Over for the total points scored.
