Arch Manning struggles as Texas faces criticism after consecutive losses

Texas quarterback Arch Manning is under scrutiny following two consecutive losses, impacting the team's playoff hopes. The Longhorns' offense ranks poorly in numerous statistics, raising concerns about Manning's performance. Over the past two games, he has committed three turnovers, and Texas coach Steve Sarkisian emphasizes the need for improvement. Backup quarterback KJ Lacey Jr. is reportedly set for more first-team reps ahead of the upcoming game against No. 7 Ole Miss. Manning's substandard performance this season could affect his NFL Draft prospects, where he was previously projected as a top pick.
