Arch Manning’s first full season as a starter with Texas resembled a thrilling roller coaster ride. There were stomach-churning lows—a season-opening dud in a loss to Ohio State—and exhilarating highs, like his 389-yard passing performance with six total touchdowns in a November win over Arkansas.
When the dust settled, Manning had accounted for over 3,000 yards passing, 26 passing touchdowns against seven interceptions and had ran for nearly 500 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. Solid numbers, but not the generational impact many expected for a quarterback with the name Manning on the back of his jersey.
