The UTEP Miners are set to take on the No. 7 Texas Longhorns, led by quarterback Arch Manning, on Saturday, September 13, 2025, at the DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas. Fans can catch the game live for free by taking advantage of trial offers from DirecTV or fuboTV. The game, broadcast on the SEC Network, kicks off at 4:15 p.m. ET.
Highly anticipated, this matchup features two former five-star quarterback recruits, Arch Manning and Malachi Nelson, who have taken different paths since high school. Manning has remained with Texas, while Nelson has transferred twice, now leading UTEP. Both quarterbacks aim to showcase their skills, with Manning under pressure after a season-opening loss and Nelson eager to prove himself.
Texas has struggled with penalties early in the season, while UTEP’s defense hopes to capitalize on this by pressuring Manning. The Miners, excited to play in an SEC environment, aim to challenge Texas with their aggressive pass rush.
