SUMMARY: After North Texas thawed, many residents continued to face issues from cold weather, including burst pipes that led to shut businesses and displaced residents.

Frustrated with poor play against UTEP, Arch Manning will 'get back to basics'

Despite a rough first half with 10 consecutive incompletions, Manning showed flashes of promise and scored twice on the ground.

Manning committed to improving fundamentals and handling in-game pressure ahead of tougher matchups, including their SEC opener against Florida on Oct. 4.
