OTF Premium Interesting Arch Manning Trend from the Opener (Sunday AM)

[McCoyColt]

This o line has so much potential especially in the run game like Gerry said .

166 rushing yards at 4.5 ypc yesterday….. We would’ve sold our soul for that stat line vs UGA twice and Ohio st last year.

 

Arch just needs to hit the easy throws and sark needs to fix play calling. Defense is still elite and now we have an elite punter. Let’s run the table 🤘🤘

200+ ypg and 5+ ypc is very realistic for this running game if everyone stays healthy.  If they get more push in the short yardage and red zone situations, this could be the best rushing attack in America by the end of the regular season for a team that doesn't run the triple option.

Manning just needs to make the short and intermediate throws consistently, then the real fun will begin with his deep throws.  Do that enough and they'll be in Atlanta in December and Miami next January.  Don't do that enough and they'll be in Orlando playing in the Citrus Bowl.

Mosley is pretty great at getting open and catching the ball. Getting him back will help, but it will still require the QB to be able to hit the broad side of a barn.

Here come the overractions, once again

Nah. A basic brain will read nuance. I was thoughtful about the huge if but of course some can only comprehend in binary.

Not sure who all was a culture fit  but one player in the portal that would make defenses pay attention every play was Zachariah Branch. 

It would have been fun to watch Branch and Wingo play together. 

My main concern for this season was the lack of explosive playmakers on offense.

I think Jack Endries will be good at TE… and maybe Livingstone will get more comfortable after the nice TD catch yesterday. 

Part of me wonders if Sark overcorrected a bit with the switch from speedy to big WRs. I do know this: Worthy, Mitchell, Golden all would have been open all day long yesterday.

Speed kills imo

Ohio State played with a deep safety or field crossing corner (Wingo deep shot) to prevent big passing plays. That helped our run game some.

Arch just missed his intermediate and short passes. He seemed to rush throws once he made his decision. That hasn't happened before in his time on the field. Pretty confident he'll clean up his mechanical errors. He made some bigtime throws under pressure during the comeback attempt.

Its good this type of game happened in week 1 if it were to happen at all. A slice of humble pie to draw attention to the areas that need adjustments and improvements on top of the many positives that are easy to overlook when in the line of fire.

I expect more leaders to step up and find a voice when dealing with conflict and for the team to rally and forge their own identity moving forward. There is a lot to learn from yesterday's battle but the sky is still the limit for this 2025 team.

Ive seen posts people saying that Arch has a hurt shoulder.  Any truth to it?  I thought the aame thing eith bow he was side arming a lot of passes he didnt need to.

Is there any truth to this?  Arch wasn’t connecting on seemingly easy throws, and his usual mechanics seemed off at OSU game.

If Arch Manning had thrived in his debut, Sarkisian would’ve been praised as the QB whisperer who polished another five-star into a star. Instead, Manning looked unprepared after three offseasons in Sark’s system, and the blame is being pushed entirely on the player. That doesn’t square. Sarkisian sold himself as a quarterback developer — if his crown-jewel recruit isn’t ready, that’s on him.

Looking at this board I’d say Sark and Arch are taking their share of lumps.
