Paul Finebaum Suggests Arch Manning Could 'Regret' Playing for Texas and Steve Sarkisian
Finebaum said Sarkisian is to blame for Manning’s struggles after Texas dropped its second straight game and lost a late fumble that sealed Florida’s win.
- The Texas Longhorns fell 27-24 to unranked Florida in Austin on Saturday, marking their second consecutive loss. Quarterback Arch Manning lost a critical fumble on the final drive that sealed the defeat.
- ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum blamed Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian on Sunday for the program's struggles, describing the coach's recent defense of Manning as displaying 'absolute arrogance' regarding his performance.
- Manning finished 14-of-20 passing for 173 yards and a touchdown during the loss. Sarkisian previously suggested critics would praise the quarterback if his name were 'Joe Smith,' a comparison Finebaum rejected as an 'idiotic take.'
- Finebaum called the situation 'embarrassing,' noting Sarkisian is seemingly considering benching Manning. The coach faces increasing scrutiny following consecutive losses, which Finebaum attributed to his leadership and play-calling decisions.
- Texas hosts the Ole Miss Rebels next Saturday in a pivotal matchup. A third consecutive defeat would intensify pressure on Sarkisian beyond current public criticism.
