Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian is facing mounting pressure after back-to-back losses that have dropped the team from the top spot in college football rankings. The latest setback came in a 27-24 home defeat to Florida, where quarterback Arch Manning’s late-game turnover sealed the loss.
Manning was sacked and fumbled in the final minutes, ending his streak of 11 consecutive home wins as a starter. The offense struggled throughout, managing just 272 total yards and failing to convert on key third downs, while Florida’s defense sacked Manning five times—a recurring issue for the Longhorns’ signal-caller.
Sarkisian’s comments post-game left the door open for potential changes, including at the quarterback position. After a week where Manning threw two costly fourth-quarter interceptions in a loss to Oklahoma, the coach emphasized that ‘everything is going to be evaluated.’ Manning’s performance has drawn scrutiny, with his latest QB Impact Grade ranking him in the middle tier of FBS quarterbacks, far from elite status.
The Longhorns’ offensive struggles and Manning’s turnovers have sparked questions about the future, even as Texas remains a competitive team in a challenging season.
