Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has given a review of Arch Manning’s performance in Texas' Week 2 encounter with SJSU. On Tuesday's episode of “The Triple Option,” the former coach said Manning’s accuracy was not as good as he had expected.
“His accuracy, uh, shockingly was not good," Meyer said (Timestamp: 1:02). "His decisions at times were just okay. You know, there were a couple of the underthrown balls in the deep on the interception.”
Trending
However, Meyer’s analysis of Manning’s game was not all negative. The former coach noted some positives about the quarterback’s performance, suggesting that he will evolve into an elite quarterback as the season progresses.
“Athleticism, I thought, was good. It was actually a little better than I thought,” Meyer added. “Arm strength and release, excellent. He threw a post corner out, I believe, in the fourth quarter to his right. I mean, that was a sideline to sideline throw and he shot that thing out there.”
Arch Manning improved against SJSU after his disappointing performance in the season opener. He completed 19 of 30 passes for 295 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception as the Longhorns beat the Spartans 38-7.
Analyst makes U-turn on Arch Manning’s Heisman prospects
After a barrage of criticism followed his Week 1 performance, Manning has received renewed hype since his Week 2 outing. Veteran sports commentator Paul Finebaum is one of the analysts who made a U-turn on Manning after Week 2.
Finebaum repledged his allegiance to the quarterback on Sunday during an appearance on SportsCenter.
“I know the critics are going to ridicule me, but I don’t care anymore, guys," he said. "I am staying with Arch Manning. He has not been perfect, but the Heisman doesn’t get voted on until December. So, let’s (quit) all this ‘He’s out of the Heisman race after a bad loss.’ He can come back.”
The next real test for Manning will be Florida on Oct. 4. Before then, Texas will face UTEP and Sam Houston.
