Analyst demands apology after Arch Manning criticized as college football flop

Following a comeback victory against No. 1 Ohio State, analyst Clay Travis criticized a column that labeled Arch Manning a 'flop' just seven starts into his Texas career. Travis argued the assessment by The Athletic was premature and unfair. He emphasized Manning's recent performance, including a strong fourth quarter with 196 passing yards and a game-winning drive. Despite the criticism, Manning remains a projected top prospect for the 2027 NFL Draft, although the debate over his evaluation continues. The Athletic has not issued a response to Travis's comments.
