Texas HC reacts to Arch Manning's performance vs. Ohio State

Despite a brutal start to the game, Arch Manning had a chance to lead No. 1 Texas on a drive to tie No. 3 Ohio State on the Longhorns' final possession of the game. 

Unfortunately for Manning, a six-play drive would end on downs after pressure forced the sophomore quarterback to throw to Jack Endries two yards short of the sticks at the OSU 47-yard line. The failure to convert on fourth down sealed a 14-7 win for the Buckeyes.

The fourth-down play encapsulated Manning's day against Ohio State. He struggled with pressure, unable to make throws with consistent accuracy or use his legs to keep plays alive and push the ball downfield.

Following the game, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters that he felt the expectations for Manning were too high heading into this first game as a full-time starter.

"The expectations were out of control on the outside, but I’d say let’s finish the book before we judge it," Sarkisian said via CJ Vogel of On Texas Football. "This is one chapter, and we have a long season to play."
