I think the media failed Arch Manning and Texas, in general, more than the offensive line. Last year is done though. Move on. Look forward. Changes for the better have been made. Noone is making ludicrous projections about our team this season thankfully.

My point exactly! Last year is done, and I believe they've addressed the situation as best they can.

He is 100% correct.  OL/TE/WR were horrific last year and Arch was left out to dry.  False starts, poor blocking, lack of blitz recognition, over 8% of Arch's passes were dropped (led the nation by more than 5%), and false start after false start plagued us every game and every series.  Kyle Flood makes 1.8 million... it's his damn job to get the OL $hi7 right.

He’s not wrong. You have a generational QB on your bench for 2 years and you give him one of the worst O lines in the country when he finally gets the starting job. This year is Sark and Floods chance to make up for that.

Interesting video title when one of the first clips he shows is Arch missing Wingo from 5 yards away from a perfectly clean pocket and he talks for 2 minutes about how many easy throws Arch missed the whole season.

But I guess the title "Arch had his own struggles and Texas failed to support him at times" doesn't quite get the clicks that "TEXAS FAILED ARCH" does.

LMAO....

The “Texas failed Arch” take is peak August desperation from a dude who needs clicks like oxygen. Arch was a true freshman who needed weight, timing, and Sark’s install --- not tossed into garbage‑time clown snaps so some YouTube film bro could pause clips and pretend he’s uncovering state secrets. This is the same guy who watches three plays, declares himself a QB guru, and somehow still manages to misunderstand all three.

Texas didn’t fail Arch. Texas protected him. The film guy needed clicks, a headline, and maybe a helmet so he stops injuring himself with his own analysis.

It's the OL missing assignments that concern me. That feels like coaching, and I worry that hasn't changed. Arch got healthy, new WRs, more time spent together, new OLs, all these transformed bodies, but did Flood get better? I have been a Flood supporter, but honestly and sincerely, I am starting to doubt.

Arch was a red shirt sophomore, so stop with the lack of knowledge crap!

It’s a little bit of both, the Oline especially in the first 5-6 games were TERRIBLE. Those boys couldn’t even get a solid push against UTEP. The Oline and WR core as well never really helped Arch grow up, he had to do it himself. 

I do agree with the whole arch had his own struggle cause he did, but our WRS and OL ended up being more of a detriment to the season than Arch. It’s gotta be better this year Arch too but that OL has to take the biggest jump this year.

This is not correct.  Not sure if you misquoted or if someone else misstated.  I believe the 8% to be legitimate but not the 5%.

Cool story, but it doesn’t change a damn thing. Redshirt sophomore doesn’t magically erase the fact he still needed weight, timing, and full Sark install before you throw him into garbage‑time clown snaps. Acting like “redshirt sophomore” means he was secretly a finished product is exactly why film‑bro takes sound like they’re coming from someone who learned football off Madden loading screens.

Arch wasn’t ready for chaos reps, and Sark wasn’t about to stunt his development so a YouTube guy --- or you --- could pretend it means something. Texas protected him because they actually understand QB development. The film guy doesn’t. And clearly, neither do you.

Again you show lack of knowledge last year was Arch’s 3rd year of install of Sark’s system, weight training, running the offense.

Pretty sure Arch wasn’t really running anything his freshman year in 2023 lol. He only played in 2 games his freshman redshirt year.
