Texas faces Missouri in an upcoming matchup where the Longhorns' ability to run the ball effectively will be crucial for quarterback Arch Manning's success. In their previous game against Mississippi State on October 31, 2026, at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, Manning, wearing number 16, handed off to running back Raleek Brown (number 0) but the ground game has yet to consistently produce. Analysts suggest that establishing a reliable rushing attack will relieve pressure on the young quarterback and open up the passing game against Missouri's defense.
