Arch Manning’s Texas surges to No. 1 — How to watch today vs. UTSA for free

Add The New York Post on Google College football has a new No. 1.

Last weekend, the Texas Longhorns pulled off a historic comeback against then-No. 1 Ohio State.

Going into the fourth quarter, Texas was down 20 points, but thanks to QB Arch Manning, who led two touchdown drives and set up the game-winning one-yard touchdown run by Hollywood Smothers with 25 seconds remaining, the team pulled off the largest fourth-quarter rally against an AP No. 1 team in college football history to win 24-23.

The No. 1 Longhorns come into Week 3 with an undefeated 2-0 record as they prepare for an in-state matchup with the UTSA Roadrunners. The Roadrunners are also a perfect 2-0, posting wins against UT Rio Grande and Texas State.

The UTSA vs. Texas game is scheduled to kick off at 8 p.m. ET.

Tonight’s (Sept. 17) Texas Longhorns game is airing on SEC Network+, which is exclusive to ESPN+ and the ESPN Unlimited app.

Since UTSA vs. Texas is airing on a streaming-exclusive channel, you’ll need an additional subscription to watch it. If you already have access to ESPN Unlimited via a cable subscription or live TV streaming service, all you have to do is log in to the app to watch the game.

Of course, subscribing to ESPN Unlimited for $29.99/month is the easiest and most straightforward way to watch tonight’s Texas game, but you can also get free access to ESPN Unlimited with a DIRECTV free trial.

Many of the streamer’s plans, including Choice and MySports Genre Pack include the ESPN app and all come with a five-day free trial.
