Backbreaking TD

Arch Manning with 38 yards passing to start the 4th. Terrible.

Texas play calling Rivera level conservative

It is definitely early, but throwing every pass as hard as you can and slightly off target is not a great look.

Arch Manning is supposed to be a transcendent, generational, once ever type QB talent and it's in the 4th quarter and Texas has exactly the same number of points they'd have with me playing QB. LOL

I mean both defenses are some of the best if not the best two in the country. Main difference in the game is Ohio State scored on 4th and goal and Texas didn’t. Arch doesn’t look good but anyone saying he’s a scrub or a bust after literally his first game against a high quality opponent is just a hater. Sark doesn’t seem to have any answers either. 

This is the window where it’s hard to judge what is good defense vs bad offense.   Ohio State gotta a pretty different group out there on D vs last year but  it’s also Ohio State so that roster is slammed 

also, these big games so early stinks because they will be different teams later on.  This what, Arch’s second career a start??

I remember when Trevor went undefeated at Clemson and took down what was billed as the possibly greatest college football team in Bama of all time (pending Bama won that game). Trevor destroyed them for that natty.  Why do I bring that up? Trevor Lawerence was ass the first couple games season. Arch gonna need some time to be whatever he will be…even whatever he will be this season

His very first throw down field, was in the dirt ,4 yards in front of his target. 

[LinvilleGorge]

And he throws an ugly INT. LOL

I think that hit the ground but I think we're seeing why a marginal NFL talent in Ewers was playing over this guy. They're having to run a HS offense to protect this guy.

[UnluckyforSome]

Maybe he's saving up some Manning magic for a dramatic, last minute, comeback win. Time is running out though.

[La Pantera]

No pick. Lil Archie better get his poo together and get some points on the board 

[UnluckyforSome]

Texas making the SEC look like a fraud. Should've stayed in the Big 12.

[Shocker]

Looks like he is struggling pushing the ball down field.  Arm strength looks very normal

It's gonna be fuging hilarious if Texas gets shutout in week one with all this Arch hype. OSU is either the '85 Bears reincarnated or Arch is fuging trash. LOL

Agree, looks like he’s putting everything he has into every throw. To be fair, it is not his fault that everyone puts this hype on him.
