Arch Manning is a Texas problem, and Steve Sarkisian is last to see it

Texas Longhorns quarterback **Arch Manning** has become the focal point of a rapidly deteriorating season after two consecutive losses left the once-mighty program reeling. The Longhorns, who entered the weekend as the No.

1 team in the country, suffered a stunning 27-24 defeat to unranked Florida on Saturday, capping off a weekend that included a prior loss to Oklahoma. Manning’s struggles under center were on full display, completing just 14 of 20 passes for 173 yards and a single touchdown, while also being sacked five times for a combined 29 lost yards—including a critical fumble that sealed the loss.

His rushing attempt resulted in zero yards, underscoring a lack of mobility that has fans and analysts questioning his starting role moving forward. Head coach **Steve Sarkisian** has not shied away from the conversation, openly acknowledging that Manning’s performance—and the team’s overall offensive output—will be under intense evaluation.

With Texas now at 4-2 and Playoff hopes fading, Sarkisian’s willingness to consider a quarterback change signals a potential turning point for a program that has lost its footing after a dominant start.
