Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian has praised Arch Manning, calling him a “luxury” as a backup quarterback, especially given Manning’s impressive performance in Quinn Ewers’ absence ¹. Manning has stepped up, leading the team to a conference win against Mississippi State, where he threw 26-for-31 with 324 yards and two touchdowns. His ability to focus on intermediate routes, rather than just going for deep passes, has been particularly notable ¹.
Sarkisian’s comments highlight the value Manning brings to the team, and the coach is confident in Manning’s abilities, even with Ewers’ eventual return ¹. Before his injury, Ewers was in the running for the Heisman, but Manning’s success has given the Longhorns a boost in confidence ¹. With Manning at the helm, Texas will face Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry in Week 6, and another strong performance could further solidify Manning’s position ¹.
It’s worth noting that Sarkisian has downplayed talk of a quarterback controversy,🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
