No. 1 Texas beat No. 14 Tennessee 20-17 Saturday despite 11 penalties and a 57-yard punt-return touchdown against it. Tennessee scored on a late 10-play, 80-yard drive and recovered an onside kick, but Jelani McDonald broke up its final end-zone pass.
Arch Manning completed his first seven passes for 120 yards as Texas built a 10-3 halftime lead. Tennessee quarterback Faizon Brandon briefly left in the second quarter after a hit, and George MacIntyre filled in for one full series before Brandon returned.
