President Donald Trump attended Texas’ 20-17 win over Tennessee and told Clay Travis in a halftime interview that quarterback Arch Manning was playing well, praising his family’s football pedigree and saying he had “great genetics.”
Manning completed 14 of 19 passes for 201 yards, threw one interception and no touchdowns, was sacked six times and had two illegal forward-pass penalties. Texas improved to 4-0, relying on its run game and defense in the second half.
Trump’s appearance drew mixed reactions, with audible boos and cheers in the stadium.
