Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian Denies Arch Manning Injury Concerns

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has faced speculation about a possible injury after observers noted his grimacing facial expressions and unusual throwing mechanics during recent games. Despite these concerns, head coach Steve Sarkisian firmly denied any injury, humorously dismissing the speculation by comparing it to watching someone use the bathroom and not knowing their facial expressions. Manning's performance improved in Texas' 38-7 win over San Jose State, where he completed 19 of 30 passes for 295 yards and four touchdowns, along with a rushing touchdown. The speculation seems driven more by Manning's shaky start to the season, including a subpar game against Ohio State, rather than any confirmed health issues. Sarkisian emphasized that Manning played aggressively and that any mistakes are part of natural growing pains in his first full season as a starter. Fans and observers have noted Manning's distinctive facial expressions as a unique characteristic, likening it to mannerisms seen in his famous football family relatives.
