We all know how good Quinn Ewers was last year; even earlier this season he was doing fine. Things went wrong when he got injured and had to take a break from a few games. That’s when Arch Manning took the leading role. But it didn’t affect Ewers’ rankings. Everyone had a strong faith in him. But what he did on Saturday was not expected from him. Even after that, Steve Sarkisian supported him. “I think Quinn definitely plays better, but I also think we need to play better around him.” Then what was the need to bring in Arch Manning?

On Saturday, Quinn Ewers started the game against Georgia; however, Sarkisian called Arch Manning to enter the second half. But now ESPN’s Greg McElroy says it was a huge mistake by the Texas head coach. “There was another critical mistake made in this game, and that was the handling of the quarterback situation. Quinn Ewers did not get off to a good start. Here’s the problem, though: 98% of the college football world wants to arch Manning on the field. Why?”

“

Because I think many people believe that he is the next generation of super great quarterbacks. So when your backup quarterback has rock star status, you just can’t make that move there,” he said, highlighting the fact that people love to watch Manning because of an unsaid reason for his fame as the nephew of big NFL names, Peyton and Eli Manning.

Moving forward, McElory lashed out and called out Steve Sarkisian, saying, “And I know, hey, look, Arch goes in brief spark. Had a nice run. Then you see, just, he’s still a young player. It just wasn’t the right time to do it. Well. Now Pandora’s box has been opened because Steve Sarkisian showed that he is not afraid to replace Quinn viewers in favor of Arch Manning in the event in which Quinn you are struggling, That’s a problem because now, in the first series of the game, when viewers start a game, one for three, you’re going to start hearing the chance of arch with whom the backup is and the celebrity status that he carries, I would have avoided that there was another.” ‘

McElroy points out the fact that Sarkisian should have stuck to Quinn Ewers when he’s their star quarterback. Right now, after losing to Georgia, Sarkisian was heard supporting Ewers. But here’s a fact: the kind of fan following Manning enjoys Sarkisian, and the Longhorns can not avoid that. You all saw those No. 16 jersey-wearing fans, right?

Arch Manning’s increasing fame is a problem for Steve Sarkisian

On the latest episode of the athletics college football podcast, Chris Vannini revealed how famous Manning is among Texas fans despite being a backup. “If you ever have been to a Texas game this year, there are so many Arch Manning jerseys everywhere, all around the stadium.” Reflecting on Arch Manning’s growing popularity among fans.

On top of that, Manning played for two drives; he completed 3 of 6 passes for 19 yards during the Georgia game. The Longhorns punted on his first drive, and on his second, he was sacked. Leading to Georgia recovering a fumble and resulting in a field goal, adding the score of 23-0 before halftime.

With that, don’t you think it was a major move by Sarkisian to bench a senior quarterback to add a young and inexperienced quarterback? Though Steve Sarkisian says nothing about it, he did some stupid stuff right there in the game against Georgia and indirectly fielded the ongoing battle between Arch Manning and Quinn Evans.
