Arch Manning\u2019s first season as a starter has been a roller coaster \u2014 and Saturday night was one of the valleys.<\/p>\n

During the Longhorns\u2019 crushing 35-10 loss to No. 5-ranked Georgia on Saturday<\/a>, Manning, 21, threw for 251 passing yards on 27-of-43 attempts with a touchdown and an interception. <\/p>\n

And the interception was an ugly one.<\/p>\n

Midway through the second quarter on third-and-short, Manning attempted a sidearm pass to Texas wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr., but the ball soared above his head, landing perfectly into the hands of Bulldogs defensive back KJ Bolden.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst teams like that, you can\u2019t miss any throws,\u201d Manning told reporters<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve got to play well the whole game.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about what the most frustrating part of Saturday\u2019s loss was, Manning\u2019s answer was simple.<\/p>\n

\u201cLosing,\u201d he told reporters.<\/p>\n

The game seemed within reach for the Longhorns after Manning\u2019s touchdown pass to receiver Ryan Wingo late in the third quarter making the score 14-10, but Georgia\u2019s 21 unanswered points in the fourth crushed any hopes Texas had of making a comeback.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a really good game until the start of the 4th quarter,\u201d Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian told reporters following the loss. \u201cIt was 14-10, they get the ball, they convert two fourth downs, they score, they onside kick, they score, they pop a kickoff down there, we get pinned inside the 10, shank a punt, they score again.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was 21-0 in the fourth quarter. Great job by Georgia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s loss now puts Texas at 7-3 on the season, with their College Football Playoff hopes now in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

Longhorns running back Quintrevion Wisner still believes that his squad can reach the playoffs, saying that they just need to \u201ctake care of business in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve still got a great team and two tough games ahead of us,\u201d Wisner said. \u201cI feel like if we execute and pay attention to details at a high level, we\u2019ll go take care of business in the future. Right now, we\u2019ve just got to get ready to get back to work from this game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Texas is set to face Arkansas next who have yet to win a game against Southeastern Conference opponents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just going to go do our best to beat Arkansas and control what we can control,\u201d Manning said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arch Manning\u2019s first season as a starter has been a roller coaster \u2014 and Saturday night was one…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":382845,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[23603,1428,1318,1317,1315,1316,62,9662,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-382844","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-football","8":"tag-arch-manning","9":"tag-college-football","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-ncaa","12":"tag-ncaa-football","13":"tag-ncaafootball","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-texas-longhorns","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115559085836839101","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=382844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/382844\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/382845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=382844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=382844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=382844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
