Much was made of Arch Manning’s debut for Texas during the program’s annual spring game back on April 15—and not in a good way. The highly-touted freshman quarterback struggled in his first college exhibition, completing just five of his 13 passes for 30 yards.
While appearing on 105.3 The Fan on Saturday, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian addressed the game and Manning’s development as he continues to evaluate his signal-callers.
“He’s on the right trajectory that he should be on,” Sarkisian said. “He’s a true freshman in college. He really should still be in high school. Just finished his first semester on the Forty Acres. There’s a definite transition there.
