Texas coach Steve Sarkisian evaluates Arch Manning ahead of season opener

Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian recently addressed the performance of quarterback Arch Manning during a preseason scrimmage held on August 23. Sarkisian initially characterized the offense as sloppy and noted potential mental fatigue for the quarterback during that session. However, the coach later offered a more positive assessment, citing a strong overall camp performance by Manning. The program has surrounded the quarterback with a bolstered offensive line and new offensive weapons, including wide receiver Cam Coleman and two primary running backs. Manning faces high expectations to perform against a challenging schedule that includes matchups against Ohio State, Tennessee, and LSU. The team prepares for its season opener against Texas State before moving into the remainder of the schedule.
