Heisman whispers loom as Arch Manning takes handoff at Texas

Arch Manning has started a grand total of two games in two seasons at quarterback for the Texas Longhorns.

Yet, according to DraftKings, the Louisiana native and third-generation member of the Manning family is the favorite to win the Heisman Trophy.

“I’m not really sure how they got these opinions because I’ve only played in, what? Two games?” an incredulous Manning said at the Southeastern Conference media days on Tuesday. “I guess it’s nice of them to say, but it doesn’t mean anything. Talk is cheap, I’ve got to go prove it.”

Manning’s third career start is likely to take place on Aug. 30 when Texas travels to Columbus, Ohio to take on defending national champion Ohio State.

He witnessed the steamroller that Ohio State became in the 2024 postseason from the sidelines as then-Longhorns starting QB Quinn Ewers could not put enough points on the board in a 28-14 setback in the semifinals.

“We’re opening with the champs,” Manning said. “It’s going to be a fun one. I learned a lot from Quinn; he was damn good on the road. I’m going to text him, get some of his advice, and we’ll fire up. Ohio State is a really good team, so it’s going to be a good challenge.”

Many around college football assumed Manning would jump ship before the 2024 season with Ewers reclaiming the starting role.

“I’m not going to lie, it was pretty tough,” Manning said. “The competitor in me always wants to play and be on the field to help my team out. Looking back, it definitely helped me grow as a person and a player. I’m blessed for that.”

Although the competition was certainly inferior to the test he will receive from the Buckeyes, Manning showed his stuff in home starts against Louisiana-Monroe and Mississippi State last September. In the 35-13 win over Mississippi State, he completed 26 of 31 passes for 325 yards and a pair of long-range touchdown strikes.

The Longhorns are expected to contend for the national title again in 2025. Manning is confident in his own abilities, but knows he has a tremendous cast around him to help.

“We’ve got a good group around me. I think our defense is really good, we’ve got a good o-line and we’ve got good skill players. So, I’m going to rely on them and try to make it happen.”

Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian leads the team onto the field as the Texas Longhorns prepare to play the Clemson Tigers in the first round of the College Football Playoffs at Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, Texas, Dec. 21, 2024.

Texas, USC follow ‘NFL approach,’ punt annual spring game

Texas and Southern California are part of the growing wave of prominent programs punting their annual spring game, eliminating the “live scrimmage” element from the offseason practice schedule in favor of an “NFL model.”

Coach Steve Sarkisian confirmed the Longhorns won’t pack Darrell K. Royal Stadium in April as has been tradition for Texas and almost every college football program in response to the length of the season.

“Over the last two years we played 30 games. That’s a lot for college football: 14 two years ago, 16 this year,” Sarkisian told Kay Adams in an appearance on “Up and Adams.”

“And I just mentioned we’ve had 25 guys get invited to the NFL combine the last two years, so we’ve got a lot of young players on our roster. We have 21 mid-year high school kids that just showed up. And so the development that’s needed for these guys to get ready for the fall is a little bit different than it used to be.”

USC, one of Sarkisian’s previous employers, reportedly will move forward with the public engagement elements of the spring game and involve well-known former players and coaches in a replacement event yet to be officially announced.

Sarkisian, who also coached in the NFL, emphasized process and individual player development in leading Texas to the first 12-team playoff in 2024. The Longhorns will double down on that plan.

“Our approach is going to be a little bit more NFL driven. Kind of more of an OTA style early on and as we grow into more of the scrimmage formats in the second half of spring ball, that I just don’t know if rolling the ball out, playing the game, when we only get 15 practices is the best for us to maximize the opportunities that we get,” Sarkisian said. “So it’s going to be a little bit of a different approach, but I think college football is changing right now. And we need to do a great job as coach of adapting to college football and that’s what we’re trying to do.”

While the spring game can be a showcase for a program’s stars of tomorrow, the complexities — and potential unintended consequences — involved in the modern game pushed other programs to pull the plug on the end-of-semester games. Nebraska’s Matt Rhule felt the Cornhuskers’ spring game because more of a platform for transfer portal poachers to scout and contact players. National champion Ohio State and Southern California also are done with the spring game as we know it.

Ohio State, one of the most active programs in the transfer portal between the 2023 and 2024 seasons, sold 80,012 tickets to its 2024 spring game according to school estimates, ahead of Alabama (72,358) and Penn State (67,000). Nebraska and Georgia each had more than 50,000.

The Texas spring game drew “a tad under 50,000” fans, according to athletic director Chris Del Conte.

Report: Texas, Steve Sarkisian agree to 7-year deal

After reportedly turning down interviews with two NFL teams regarding their coaching vacancies, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian agreed to a new seven-year deal, ESPN reported on Saturday.

Per ESPN’s report, the deal tacks on another year to Sarkisian’s existing contract and ensures he will be among college football’s highest-paid coaches.

The Action Network was first to report on the contract agreement and also reported that the Longhorns coach declined to interview for an NFL job.

Sarkisian, 50, guided Texas to the College Football Playoff semifinals, where the Longhorns fell to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10.

In their first season in the SEC, the Longhorns lost the conference title game to Georgia then won two CFP playoff games before they were eliminated.

In four seasons at Texas, Sarkisian is 38-17, including a Big 12 title win in 2023. Including stops at Washington (2009-13) and USC (2014-15), he is 84-52 as a head coach.

Sarkisian served as Alabama’s offensive coordinator under Nick Saban in 2016 and has NFL coaching experience on the staffs of the then-Oakland Raiders (2004) and the Atlanta Falcons (2017-18).

Texas AD on NFL interest in Steve Sarkisian: ‘That’s stupid’

Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte has heard the reports of purported NFL interest in Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian and doesn’t much appreciate the timing four days before the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Cotton Bowl.

Del Conte hired Sarkisian as head coach at Texas and 51 weeks ago signed him to a four-year contract extension as the job at Alabama opened due to Nick Saban’s retirement.

But the timing of the latest reports, including from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, that NFL teams could kick the tires on Sarkisian didn’t sit well with Del Conte.

“We’ve got a game to play,” he told the Houston Chronicle. “I’m not going to comment. Somebody’s just creating fodder before our biggest game. That’s stupid.”

Texas plays Ohio State on Friday in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns are in college football’s final four for the second consecutive year. The Longhorns lost 37-31 to the Washington Huskies in the Sugar Bowl last January.

NFL interest isn’t news for Sarkisian. He previously worked as an assistant coach with the Falcons and Raiders.

Sarkisian, in his fourth season at Texas, is under contract through the 2030 season. He received a pay increase to more than $10 million from $5.6 million annually last January, when Del Conte said Texas was “never worried” about Sarkisian bolting back to Alabama. Sarkisian was offensive coordinator under Saban with the Crimson Tide.

No. 4 Arizona State bids to continue stunning season vs. No. 5 Texas in Peach Bowl

They weren’t expected to win their conference. They certainly weren’t expected to qualify for the College Football Playoff.

Nonetheless, the fourth-seeded Arizona State Sun Devils (11-2) have a chance to earn perhaps the biggest win in program history when they battle fifth-seeded Texas (12-2) in a CFP quarterfinal on New Year’s Day at the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.

The winner will meet either top-seeded Oregon or No. 8 seed Ohio State in a semifinal game at the Cotton Bowl on Jan. 10 in Arlington, Texas.

Projected last in the preseason Big 12 poll, Arizona State secured an automatic bid to its first CFP with a 45-19 drubbing of Iowa State in the conference championship on Dec. 7.

Despite the Sun Devils boasting 311 fewer all-time victories than the Longhorns, Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham doesn’t see the matchup as David versus Goliath.

“No, I wouldn’t say that,” Dillingham said. “I would say this is a really good football team that was predicted to win a national championship versus the Big 12 champion. I’m excited to see our guys go out there and compete.”

Riding a six-game winning streak, Arizona State will have rested for 24 days by the time New Year’s Day rolls around, admittedly an obstacle Dillingham’s team will have to overcome.

“Not playing a game for 3 1/2 weeks is definitely a challenge,” Dillingham said. “Especially because we were playing our best football. … We really dominated the end of the season, in my opinion.”

Averaging 34.5 points per game, the Sun Devils’ offense is led by quarterback Sam Leavitt’s 2,663 passing yards and 29 total touchdowns, alongside running back Cam Skattebo’s 1,568 rushing yards and 19 scores.

An upstart Arizona State squad enters Wednesday’s game as nearly two-touchdown underdogs, much due to Texas’ stingy defense, which allows the second-fewest points per game in college football (13.3).

The Longhorns have slipped twice this season, to Georgia, first in a 30-15 home loss on Oct. 19, then in a 22-19 overtime defeat in the Southeastern Conference title game on Dec. 7.

Appearing in its second straight CFP, Texas pulled away from visiting Clemson in the opening round last Saturday to win 38-24. Now preparing for the Longhorns’ second all-time meeting with Arizona State (2007 Holiday Bowl), coach Steve Sarkisian doesn’t take December football for granted.

“To be a part of this game is a fantastic honor,” Sarkisian said. “We’re really proud of the fact that we’ve gotten to this point. We obviously have a ton of respect for Arizona State and the job coach Dillingham has done. They’re a very good football team. We know how hard it is to win the Big 12.”

Last time out, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for 202 yards, a touchdown and an interception, but the Longhorns shredded the Clemson defense with 292 rushing yards. Jaydon Blue ran for 146 yards and two touchdowns, paired with Quintrevion Wisner’s 110 yards and two scores.

“We needed to run the ball to beat Clemson, and we’re going to need to run the football to keep advancing in these playoffs,” Sarkisian said. “That’s what playoff football is about. … There’s a lot that goes into the run game. It takes all 11 to run the ball.”

No. 5 Texas runs away from No. 12 Clemson, off to CFP quarterfinals

Jaydon Blue rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns, including a 77-yard score in the fourth quarter, as No. 5 seed Texas ran to a 38-24 win over 12th-seeded Clemson on Saturday afternoon in a College Football Playoff first-round game in Austin, Texas.

The Longhorns (12-2) advance to the CFP quarterfinals, where they’ll square off against fourth-seeded Arizona State, the Big 12 champion, on Jan. 1 in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.

Quinn Ewers passed for 202 yards and a score and Quintrevion Wisner added 110 yards and two TDs 15 yards on 15 carries for Texas, which outgained Clemson 292-76 on the ground.

The Longhorns’ defense stopped Clemson on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line with 7:24 left. Texas then produced a final march that chewed up almost six minutes of the clock.

Cade Klubnik, who played his prep football in Austin, passed for 336 yards and three TDs to keep the Tigers in the game. Nine of Klubnik’s 26 completions on 43 throws went to T.J. Moore, who had 116 receiving yards and a touchdown catch.

Everything went right for the Tigers on the game’s opening possession, on which they used 12 snaps and nearly seven minutes to drive 75 yards to a 22-yard TD pass from Klubnik to Antonio Williams.

Texas responded with its own 75-yard, 12-play march that culminated in a 3-yard scoring run up the middle by Wisner with 2:04 to play in the first quarter.

The Longhorns got a 38-yard touchdown sprint by Blue with 12:49 to play in the second quarter and then a 16-yard TD run by Wisner 5 1/2 minutes later to push their lead to 21-7.

Clemson’s Nolan Hauser hit a 32-yard field goal with 1:33 left in the second quarter. Texas answered with a 19-yard TD pass from Ewers to Gunnar Helm that extended the Longhorns’ lead to 28-10 at the break.

Bert Auburn added a 22-yard field goal on the Longhorns’ opening drive of the third quarter.

Klubnik found Jarvis Green out of the backfield for a nifty 25-yard TD pass to pull the Tigers to within 31-17 with 3:29 to play in the third. He then connected with Moore on a 7-yard scoring pass on fourth down with 11:43 remaining to bring Clemson to within seven points.

On the second play of Texas’s ensuing drive, Blue broke free and streaked down the left sideline to lift the Longhorns back up by two scores.

Storylines galore when No. 5 Texas, No. 12 Clemson clash in playoffs

No. 5 seed Texas and No. 12 seed Clemson are set to clash in a captivating first-round matchup in the College Football Playoff on Saturday afternoon in Austin, Texas.

The winner will advance to the CFP quarterfinals, with fourth seed Arizona State awaiting in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta on Jan. 1. Texas opened as a 10 1/2-point favorite in the first-ever meeting between the storied programs, the largest favorite of any first-round game.

The Longhorns (11-2) look to rebound from a 22-19 overtime loss to then-No. 5 Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship. The Tigers (10-3) earned the final spot in the CFP with a last-second 34-31 win over then-No. 8 SMU in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.

Texas battled to the end and beyond in the loss to Georgia, dominating the first half despite quarterback Quinn Ewers playing with a sprained right ankle and with left tackle Kelvin Banks (who won the Outland Trophy as college football’s best interior lineman) on the shelf, also with an ankle injury.

Both are expected to be healthy for Saturday’s game. Ewers was asked Monday about his health and his role as the focal point of the Longhorns’ offense.

“I feel good. It was good to get some time off,” Ewers explained. “I just try to get the ball to the playmakers and let them go to work at the end of the day. It sounds like a simple answer, but that’s how simple it is.”

Both of Texas’ losses this season have been to Georgia, and the two setbacks cost the Longhorns the chance to capture a SEC championship in their first year in the vaunted league.

“To come off two weeks after the SEC championship, this game is pretty exciting,” Texas coach Steve Sarkisian said. “One of the concerns always for us as coaches is that long layoff. How do you keep your team sharp and how do you keep them competitive, yet in the same token heal and get healthy?”

The Tigers used their considerable big-game experience, the arm and legs of quarterback Cade Klubnik and a 56-yard final-play field goal from freshman kicker Nolan Hauser to advance to the CFP.

Clemson battled through a campaign in which it was routed by Georgia in the season opener and lost at home to Louisville and South Carolina.

To advance, the Tigers will have to play their best in what’s sure to be an unfriendly venue.

“It’s hard when you have everything against you, but it’s fun too,” said Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, a two-time national champion. “This is as good as it gets. Somebody asked me today, ‘What it’s going to be like?’ I said, ‘Well, it’s going to be like a normal road game, times a million.’”

Klubnik has completed 63.7 percent of his throws this season, racking up 3,303 yards and 33 touchdowns to just five interceptions. He’s added another 458 yards and seven TDs on the ground.

The Tigers’ junior signal-caller is from Austin and he was a prep star at Austin Westlake, the school that also produced quarterbacks Drew Brees and Nick Foles. Klubnik and Ewers went head-to-head in a high school state championship game, with Klubnik leading Westlake to the victory.

Ewers, who led Texas to the four-team CFP a year ago, threw for 2,665 yards and 25 TDs this season.

Swinney said Tuesday that Clemson running back Phil Mafah (1,106 rushing yards, eight rushing TDs in 2024) will play against the Longhorns despite a shoulder injury that will require surgery after the season.

“Mafah’s going to give us everything he’s got,” Swinney said. “He’s a guy we have to have play well for sure.”

Meet the 12 CFP Title Contenders: No. 5 Texas

5. Texas Longhorns
11-2 (7-1 SEC regular season)

What’s next: vs. No. 12 Clemson, Austin, Texas, Dec. 21, 4 p.m. ET

Head coach: Steve Sarkisian (fourth season, 36-16 at Texas)

About Sarkisian: The former Southern California head coach revived his career by calling plays for Nick Saban and national title contender Alabama in 2019-20. As a head coach, his only postseason wins (two) are in the Holiday Bowl and he’s 0-2 in bowl games at Texas and 0-1 in the College Football Football. The Longhorns lost to Washington 37-31 in the Sugar Bowl in January in a national semifinal game.

Resume
Texas finds itself being questioned about the quality of its victories even after taking Georgia to overtime in the SEC Championship. Two losses, both to Georgia, prevent Texas from a coveted bye week. There are zero wins on the Longhorns’ season resume against teams in the CFP Top 25 and will hear about totaling only 60 rushing yards in two defeats against the Bulldogs.

“This stings,” Sarkisian said Saturday night in Atlanta after Georgia’s 22-19 OT win. “But we get a chance to regroup in a couple of weeks and get in the College Football Playoff. I think we’re plenty good enough to go win it.”

Postseason history
Texas played for a national title in 2010, losing the BCS national championship game to Alabama, 37-21, and last won the title in the 2005 season behind Vince Young.

The Longhorns have four national championships in college football: 1963, 1969, 1970 and 2005.

The road to Atlanta
Texas starts the playoffs at home against ACC champion Clemson and a second conference champ, Arizona State (Big 12), would follow in the quarterfinals at the Peach Bowl.

No. 1 Oregon, which plays the winner of the 8-9 matchup between Tennessee and Ohio State, is among potential semifinals opponents.

Names to Know
OT Kelvin Banks Jr.
He was out against Georgia in the SEC title game and it showed up as a major disadvantage. QB Quinn Ewers faced big pressure, was sacked six times and intercepted twice.

Banks is a top-10 draft pick projection because of his smooth athleticism, size and upside.

EDGE Colin Simmons
A finalist for the award given to college football’s top freshman — the Shaun Alexander Award — he was second on the team in the regular season in sacks (7.0), tackles for loss (11.5), forced fumbles (2) and quarterback hurries (7). He had 36 total tackles (25 solo).

RB Quintrevion Wisner
The sophomore had a breakout game in the Red River Rivalry with 118 yards and a touchdown and came on strong in the second half of the season.

Wisner had a team-best 863 yards and averaged 4.9 yards per carry.

QB Quinn Ewers
He bounced back from a two-game absence recovering from an oblique injury to guide the Longhorns to the SEC title game but was under fire all game. He’s been plagued by turnovers in big games. Ewers had two turnovers Saturday and threw a pick-6 at Texas A&M in the must-win lead-in to the SEC title game.

He threw for 2,665 yards with 26 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2024.

No. 5 Georgia overcomes QB injuries to beat No. 2 Texas in OT

ATLANTA — Trevor Etienne rushed for a game-winning four-yard score in overtime, clinching the Southeastern Conference Championship for the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs with a 22-19 win over No. 2 Texas.

Etienne rushed for 94 yards and two scores, as Georgia (11-2) won despite starting quarterback Carson Beck missing the entire second half with an injury. Beck completed 7 of 13 passes for 56 yards before replacement Gunner Stockton threw for 71 yards and an interception.

After Bert Auburn’s 32-yard field goal gave Texas a three-point lead in overtime, Stockton was knocked out of the game after an eight-yard rush on Andrew Mukuba’s helmet-jarring tackle. Beck re-entered to hand the ball off on Etienne’s game-winning score.

Quinn Ewers completed 27 of 46 passes for 358 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions for Texas (11-2), which fell to Georgia for a second time.

Trailing 6-3 at halftime, Georgia took its first lead on a 10-play, 75-yard drive, stamped with Etienne’s 10-yard rushing touchdown. After each team traded punts, Auburn missed a 51-yard field goal at the 4:56 mark of the third quarter.

Peyton Woodring’s 24-yard field goal then gave Georgia a 13-6 lead. Texas responded with its first touchdown, a 41-yard game-tying pass from Ewers to DeAndre Moore at the 13:54 mark of the fourth quarter.

Georgia’s following drive was prolonged by a successful fake punt on 4th and 5 from its own 30, as backup center Drew Bobo took the direct snap in the backfield and flipped it forward to Arian Smith, who took it for nine yards. Nate Frazier’s runs of 15 and and 14 yards set up the Bulldogs on Texas’ four-yard line, where Woodring’s 20-yarder gave Georgia a 16-13 lead with 4:32 remaining.

On 3rd and 17 in the ensuing drive, Ewers was picked off by Daylen Everette on Georgia’s 29-yard line, but Stockton gave it right back with an interception by Jahdae Barron with 2:30 left. Aided by defensive pass interference, Texas advanced to Georgia’s 14. Auburn then tied the game with a 37-yard field goal with 18 seconds left.

On the game’s first drive, Ewers was intercepted by Everette at Georgia’s 35-yard line.

After Georgia’s three-and-out, Texas’ nine-play, 64-yard drive was stamped with Auburn’s 41-yard field goal with 5:17 remaining in the opening quarter.

Following another Georgia punt, Texas doubled its lead on Auburn’s 42-yarder with 10:22 left in the second quarter. Georgia answered with Woodring’s 44-yard field goal with 6:41 left in the first half.

Texas Longhorns mascot Bevo XV runs onto the field ahead of the game against Colorado State at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024.

No bull, just dogs: Texas mascot banned, UGA’s OK for SEC title game

Texas might have beef with the Southeastern Conference officials after denying the Longhorns’ request to bring live mascot Bevo XV inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Saturday’s championship game with Georgia in Atlanta.

A nearly one ton longhorn steer, Bevo XV is the Texas mascot and storms the home field of the Longhorns before and during games.

The animal is larger than the combined weight of the five-person offensive line for either team and was considered too excessively large to patrol the dome sideline safely.

The conference decided to make the preemptive decision after saying it “look at alternatives” after receiving the request from Texas.

“The reality is there is limited sideline space at the stadium. We can’t jeopardize the safety of Bevo or the game participants,” SEC spokesman Chuck Dunlap said.

Georgia is permitted to leash up its mascot, a recognizable English bulldog named Uga XI.

In response, Texas fans launched a The Change.org petition with thousands of signatures as of Friday.

But Bevo XV also has a reputation stemming from a near-incident in similar indoor surroundings.

At the Superdome in New Orleans before the 2019 Sugar Bowl, Bevo XV toppled a barricade enclosure and began to make a charge in the direction of Georgia’s bulldog mascot. At the time, the mascot was Uga X. The animals did not get close enough to have any direct interaction, but the longhorn was held by members of the Texas contingent and safely restrained.

During NFL games at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, camera crews, boomlift camera machinery and cheerleaders crowd the sideline near the playing field and high-end box seats are closer to the action than many other, older stadiums.
