Who Is Arch Manning's Biggest Critic? It's Arch Manning
Paul Finebaum acknowledged overhyping Arch Manning, who struggled with decision-making and accuracy in his first road start, completing 37% off-target throws in Texas' loss to Ohio State.
- On Sunday, Paul Finebaum admitted he was `guiltier than anyone` for the hype around Arch Manning and on SportsCenter called Manning `mostly, he was terrible` and `a bust` in his first game while maintaining long-term optimism.
- Because Finebaum spent the summer proclaiming Arch Manning as the most anticipated quarterback since Tim Tebow, Manning's limited 2024 appearances fueled high preseason excitement.
- In Columbus, Manning managed 17 completions from 30 attempts for 170 yards, one touchdown and one interception, with 37% of throws off-target and 0-for-5 on passes five-plus yards downfield.
- The Longhorns remain in playoff conversations but the College Football Playoff selection committee will weigh Week 1 performance alongside schedule strength, and Arch Manning now eyes his next big test on Oct. 4 at Florida.
- For now, the hottest offseason story has cooled as Paul Finebaum's hype for Arch Manning aged poorly, though Manning can rebound during three straight home games and other chances this year.
