President Trump was in attendance for No. 1 Texas’s road win against No. 14 Tennessee on Saturday afternoon.
The President of the United States attended the game at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was President Trump’s latest major sporting event attended. President Trump, 80, has previously attended the Super Bowl, the Ryder Cup, the U.S. Open, the Daytona 500, the College Football Playoff national championship game and more.
Saturday marked President Trump’s first game at Rocky Top. Texas, which is two weeks removed from a huge home win against then-No. 1 Ohio State, was able to hold on for a huge win on the road against the Volunteers.
President Trump was there to watch it all.
Full Measure.
The Manning family was in attendance for the big game, too.
Cooper Manning and several members of his family watched the game at Neyland Stadium from a suite. Peyton Manning, of course, starred collegiately at the University of Tennessee. However, he and members of his family made it clear that they were rooting for Arch Manning and the Longhorns on Saturday.
President Trump made his opinion on the Manning family extremely clear during an interview on Saturday, too.

President Trump told Clay Travis that he was impressed by Arch Manning’s play. He’s also been a longtime fan of the Manning family.
“Well, he’s already looking really good,” Trump said. “I know the brothers, and they’re fantastic. They’re fantastic people and great quarterbacks and great football players. He’s got great genetics, I would say. If you’re gonna go for genetics, you can’t do much better, and he’s playing pretty well today.”
The Manning family typically doesn’t get too political, but they had the support of the President of the United States on Saturday, in a major way.
