I thought this was a really interesting question from @Jarveaux on a topic posted Friday afternoon. Could Texas QB Arch Manning be the first quarterback in Texas history to reach 4,000 passing yards in a single season? Doing so would set a new single season passing record for The University of Texas, breaking Colt McCoy's 2008 season of 3,859 yards. Given the length of the College Football Playoff schedule and the expectation/talent on roster currently, it is definitely within the realm of possibility. In fact, I believe it will happen. The Longhorns could play anywhere from 12–16 games in 2025. Of course, I think I speak for everyone when I say playing only 12 games meant something went terribly wrong. But for the sake of the argument, let's look at the required passing numbers to hit the 4k mark by games played. 12 games: 333.3 YPG 13 games: 307.7 YPG 14 games: 285.7 YPG 15 games: 266.6 YPG 16 games: 250.0 YPG Texas QB Quinn Ewers threw for an average of 289.9 passing yards per game in his 12 starts last year, totaling 3,472 yards. Given he missed UTSA and Mississippi State, two games where Arch Manning threw for a combined for 583 passing yards, it is fair to assume those numbers would have been comparable. Meaning, a healthy Quinn Ewers gets to the 4,000 mark last year. So for Manning, it is definitely a possibility. The University of Texas single season passing record should be on watch this fall. So back to the original question in the article's title – Will Arch Manning Hit 4,000 Passing Yards? The answer for me is simple. Yes. If the Texas QB remains healthy, there will be plenty of opportunity to run of the numbers and the length of the season will allow for Manning to eclipse the record set by the former Longhorn Legend.

I was running here to post North Shore

North Shore for the win!

I was told my bet would be confidential - you can never trust the MGM

Our own @Rod Babers started the Houston Lamar pipeline, which has also been a good one for the Longhorns.

Gerry, Bobby and I have done various studies regarding this topic over the years. I know thinking change over time and there are ebbs and flows. But I’m driving to the Houston area today and it occurred to me how good Brenham has been to the Longhorns. From Roosevelt Leaks to Limas Sweed to Malcom Brown, there have been some great Texas football players who’ve come from the land of Blue Bell. It’s hard to top the Brenham pipeline in both quality and quantity.

I’m no Title IX expert. Cutting four sports, like they did, seems a little on the extreme side.

Think he'll stay for 2026 barring astronomical stuff. Just about every NFL team wants him. Read yesterday the Rams and McVeigh would love to get him in the next draft. If does go pro after this season, he'll definitely be the first pick. Nuss, Sellers, whomever, aren't even close.

What are the chances Arch stays at Texas for 2 more years?

That is derogatory to all morons.

Not being sarcastic, but let us know what the “sharps” do the week before the game. I’d be interested in that.

Yes. Cowherd had previously predicted Arch would only be there only one more year which is why Sark made that statement along with calling Cowherd out on his previous Nick Saban prediction to Cleveland. Sark doesn't miss much.

I second Blake. Awesome photo sir 🤘🏿

Well, he was one of many, but he's the one that did a backflip afterwards.

Sports Illustrated photo on the 1970 Arkansas game. Win #30 in a row.

Snacks was waived by the Titans, but the Raiders picked up. He wasn’t without a home for long.

BTW, Arch will be at Texas two more years Sark hinted at it in a joking manner

The home schedules are what college hoops is turning into with all the neutral site mini-tournaments or games Looking at a few other schedules, pretty much the same at Florida, Duke, etc

I second that.

No impact. Ogden has been around Miller more than any coach recruiting him. He’s around the program on a near daily basis

Played last year against ULM and UTSA! (WR Rett Andersen for those unaware)

Sweet pic!
