Manning Faces Lower Pressure as Texas QB

Arch Manning, Texas’s No. 1 recruit, began 2024 with three starts that produced interceptions and a sub‑60% completion rate. A breakout 26‑3 win over No. 6 Oklahoma in Week 6 sparked a turnaround, and Manning finished the season with 14 touchdown passes, two interceptions and five rushing touchdowns in the final eight games.

Heading into his second full season, the Longhorns are looking to break a playoff drought. Manning is slated as a Heisman front‑runner, and Texas will test its depth against an SEC schedule that includes LSU, Texas A&M and Tennessee, with home games versus Ole Miss and Ohio State. ipl-today.in
