"Manning was injured on the first play of overtime in Texas' 45-38 win over Mississippi State. If he can't play against the Commodores (7-1, 3-1 SEC), Texas (6-2, 3-1) would hand the offense to graduate transfer Matthew Caldwell, who has seen only spot duty this season but came off the bench to throw the winning touchdown pass against the Bulldogs on his only pass attempt of the game."
"Manning has passed for 1,795 yards and 15 touchdowns. A preseason favorite for the Heisman Trophy, Manning struggled for much of the early season but played his best game Saturday with 346 yards and three touchdowns as Texas rallied from 17 points down in the fourth quarter."
"Caldwell transferred from Troy and has taken a journeyman's route to Austin over his career. His first stop was at Jacksonville State before he transferred to Gardner-Webb and then Troy. He went 3-2 as a starter at Troy last season with 13 touchdown passes."
Arch Manning entered concussion protocol and did not practice Monday before Texas' game at No. 9 Vanderbilt. Coach Steve Sarkisian said the team will provide an update on Manning's injury later in the week. Manning suffered the injury on the first play of overtime in Texas' 45-38 win over Mississippi State. If Manning is unavailable, graduate transfer Matthew Caldwell would assume the offense after limited spot duty this season; Caldwell came off the bench to throw the winning touchdown on his only pass attempt against Mississippi State. Manning has 1,795 yards and 15 touchdowns this season. Caldwell previously played at Jacksonville State, Gardner-Webb and Troy, where he went 3-2 as a starter with 13 touchdown passes.
