Steve Sarkisian Responds to Arch Manning Being Booed by Texas Fans
For much of his time in Austin, Arch Manning has been viewed as the most celebrated player on the team, even while serving as the backup. Texas fans have always shown him love. However, that changed on Saturday against UTEP, when Manning experienced boos for the first time in his career due to a lackluster performance.
Steve Sarkisian addressed the negative reaction from the crowd at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, acknowledging that it was a significant moment in Manning’s journey. Sarkisian believes that this experience marks a milestone for Manning as a quarterback, as he’s now heard both the cheers and the boos. Moving forward, the focus is on helping Manning settle into the game and finish strong against the Miners.
“We’ve just got to get a little rhythm at quarterback,” Sarkisian said. “I told Arch before the season, you’ve never really been a quarterback until they boo you. He got booed in the first half. Now, he can start playing.”
