Texas coach attacks out of control' expectations as Arch Manning flops in season opener
"Obviously, you don't want to start off the season 0-1, and they're a good team, but I thought we beat ourselves a lot and that starts with me. I've got to play better for us to win. I think I beat myself today. Manning was shaky from the start and had only 26 passing yards at halftime. He was stuffed at the goalline trying to score in the third quarter."
"Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli Manning and grandson of Archie Manning, completed 17 of 30 passes for 170 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Ultimately not good enough, Manning said of his performance. For Arch, the expectations were out of control on the outside, he said. But I'd say let's finish the book before we judge it. This is one chapter, and we've got a long season to go play."
No. 1 Texas opened the season with a 14-7 loss at Ohio State. Arch Manning completed 17 of 30 passes for 170 yards with one touchdown and one interception in his debut as the full-time starter. Manning said he beat himself and must play better, noting only 26 passing yards at halftime and being stopped at the goalline in the third quarter. Manning declined to blame injured receivers or offensive-line turnover. Head coach Steve Sarkisian said outside expectations were out of control and urged patience, calling the result one chapter in a long season.
