  1. Past hour
  2. Guys - let's direct all this angst towards aggy next Friday. 🤘
  3. just gotta look into his texts that leaked and that says everything. Even if he was the scapegoat he still knew what was going on and took the money over doing the right thing.
  4. I don't have a problem with the hire, don't have a dog in the fight, so to speak. From what I've read about the situation, wasn't he found to have no wrong doing in a court of law? I mean the University is the one who covered it up and they pretty much got a slap on the wrist and kept it pushing. Briles is the one who bore the brunt of the punishment and was scapegoated, along with several other key figures. In saying all that, he deserves a chance at redemption and should be heavily monitored. That's just what I've read about the situation, so I could be wrong.
  5. The program was coming off a 5-7 season when Ewers made his first start; no one was talking about a national title at that point. When Arch took over we were ranked #1 in preseason polls and it was national title or bust. That a Grand Canyon of difference between where Arch took over and when Ewers took over.
  6. Yeah but Arkansas' D is flat out terrible lol. It didn't look good the previous week against a Georgia team that isn't that good defensively.
  7. Well, does he also have better weapons around him? That's important, too. Compared to the last couple of years, there is a significant drop in talent with the previous guys to these guys.
  8. Not to try and compare too much, but he's also statistically having a better first year starting than Ewers, although Ewers was younger when he first started. I'm proud of the way he's battled through the season. Now we just hope Sark can put the pieces around him to elevate to the next level.
  9. Does this version of Arch with last year’s defense with the title?
  10. FWIW, Arch is 10-3 as a starter. That's the same record Colt McCoy had after 13 starts and he's one game behind Vince Young (11-2) in win-loss record through 13 starts. He's also 7-0 at home and has an 8-0 record in games played inside the state of Texas.
  11. AUSTIN, Texas — Arch Manning will lead Texas into the 2025 regular-season finale against Texas A&M on Friday (6:30 p.m., ABC), looking to extend the best stretch of football he’s played in his first full season as QB1 for the Longhorns. The career-high 389 yards Manning threw for and six touchdowns he accounted for (he and Bobby Layne as the only quarterbacks in school history to throw for, rush for and catch a touchdown in a single game) in Saturday’s 52-37 win over Arkansas earned him a Manning Award Star of the Week nod, a spot on the Davey O’Brien Award’s “Great 8” list and recognition as the Associated Press National Player of the Week. Manning’s historic afternoon made him the first Texas (8-3, 5-2 SEC) quarterback to record three 300-yard passing games in a four-game stretch since Colt McCoy in 2009, one in which Manning (against Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Georgia and Arkansas) has accounted for 14 touchdowns (11 passing, two rushing and one receiving). Doing his part to keep the Longhorns in the hunt for a third consecutive berth in the College Football Playoff over the team’s last four games, Manning is completing 65.1 percent of his passes (99 for 152). He's thrown for 1,314 yards and just two interceptions heading into Friday’s showdown with the Aggies at Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. The game has slowed down for Manning and, as a result, he’s thriving, Steve Sarkisian said on Monday. While praising Manning’s continued growth as a progression passer and decision maker, Sarkisian said that how the redshirt sophomore quarterback overcame his early-season struggles has led to Manning’s play becoming, arguably, the biggest strength of a Texas team standing between Texas A&M (11-0, 7-0) and its first-ever trip to the SEC title game. “I don't know if any college player has gone through what he went through before he even was the full-time starter,” Sarkisian said. “Part of that is his last name, part of it is our brand. I think those two things coming together made this such a big storyline before the season, but none of it was anything due to what Arch was doing. He just kept focusing on what he needed and tried to do. I'm sure there were moments when it was a lot — maybe, even overwhelming — but, to his credit, the guy showed so much resolve and resiliency and stick-to-itiveness to the task at hand. It wasn't a perfect journey to get to this point, but sometimes, it's good not to have a perfect journey. Sometimes, taking a road less traveled is good for you. "I said this earlier in the year — he was going to benefit from the journey that he had to go on and that he could learn how to overcome some of the adversity that he was faced with and some of the criticism he was faced with," he added. "I think he's better and stronger for it today and I'm really proud of him.” View full news story
