Texas QB Arch Manning Acknowledges Need to Improve After Struggling Start

Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning has struggled to meet the high expectations set for him this season, drawing boos from fans during a 27-10 win over UTEP. Despite Texas being 2-1 and still ranked in the top 10, Manning's performance has been underwhelming, completing just 55% of his passes through three games with multiple interceptions and inconsistent play. Manning openly acknowledged his need to improve, emphasizing that he knows he is better than his recent performances and expressing frustration at his accuracy struggles. Coach Steve Sarkisian remains confident in Manning's potential, stating that the team is working to help him reach a high level of play. Fans and teammates alike are calling for better performances as the Longhorns prepare for tougher matchups ahead, particularly in the SEC. Manning, once a preseason Heisman Trophy favorite, faces increasing pressure to elevate his game to justify the hype and lead Texas as a true title contender.
