Former All-American Reveals Why People Should Be Hesitant of the Arch Manning-Hype

"He's a great athlete," Dvoracek said. "His legs are going to help him. I think that's something that's going to help him more than, maybe not his grandfather, but going back throughout his family. That's going to give him a chance. He's got a really good arm. He throws the football extremely well. I think the kid, by the time he leaves college football, is going to be fantastic. I just also think, as we see with most quarterbacks, there's going to be some growing pains."

Dvoracek expressed his excitement about how Manning will manage the challenges he will face in the upcoming season. He highlighted the importance of road games against the Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs, and Florida Gators, emphasizing his curiosity about how Manning will cope with potential setbacks in those matchups.

Dvoracek also notes that Manning's head coach, Steve Sarkisian, will play a significant role in helping him manage those moments. Dvoracek believes that Manning's third year in the system will also benefit him this upcoming season.

Manning replaced the injured Ewers and played the final three quarters of one game. He then started the next three games, during which he threw for 806 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions, completing 69.4% of his passes. Additionally, he rushed for 82 yards, averaging 8.2 yards per carry, and scored two touchdowns.

Manning made a brief appearance in the first game against the Georgia Bulldogs. He struggled during his time on the field, completing only 3-of-6 passes for just 19 yards and fumbling the ball, which allowed Georgia to score late in the first half. He didn't return to the game, so it's uncertain how he would have responded to that setback.

Texas and Manning will open the season against the Ohio State Buckeyes at noon ET on Aug. 30 on Fox.
