Arch Manning’s absence from the field during Texas’ dominant 31-12 win over Michigan has certainly stirred up plenty of buzz among college football fans. The clamoring for Manning, especially after his impressive performance in Week 1 against Colorado State, highlights the high expectations and excitement surrounding him.
Despite Texas’ strong performance, with a commanding lead for most of the game, head coach Steve Sarkisian decided to keep Quinn Ewers in the game rather than give Manning some snaps. This choice sparked a lot of conversation online, with fans expressing frustration and calling for Manning to get a chance to showcase his skills in a high-stakes game.
The intrigue around Manning is understandable given his pedigree and the hype surrounding him as a former five-star recruit. It’ll be interesting to see if Sarkisian adjusts his approach in future games, potentially giving Manning more opportunities to play if Texas establishes a significant lead. Until then, the anticipation for Manning’s next appearance will likely continue to grow.
