It's been a less-than-stellar start to Arch Manning's first full season as Texas's starting quarterback, and Longhorns fans are beginning to get restless. While Manning and the Longhorns prevailed 27–10 over UTEP in its third game of the season this past Saturday, Longhorns fans let their QB hear it as he came off the field following a particularly listless stretch on offense that included nine straight incomplete passes from Manning.
But at least one respected voice in the Longhorns universe doesn't believe that's the best course of action for the fanbase. Former longtime Texas coach Mack Brown, who spent 16 seasons with the program, spoke about Manning during the latest episode of The Stampede: A Podcast on the Texas Longhorns, recalling some of his own experiences from his coaching career before urging Longhorns fans to throw their support behind Manning as he endures these struggles.
